Linode Reduces Transfer Pricing (Incoming Data is now Free)
Realize, of course, that "Free" usually means, "We'll let you use a lot for free, until you use too much, at which point we'll either (A) Rate Limit you, (B) Have a conversation about why you are abusing the Free Incoming ALlocation, (C) Charge you for your excessive incoming data (D) Suggest you take your business elsewhere.<p>There is no such thing as a free lunch, and it's inaccurate of Linode to suggest they can provide unlimited free inbound data.<p>The statement "This means you can upload an unlimited amount of data to your Linode without having to pay for any of the incoming data transfer." will not stand for all of their customers - the vast majority, yes, but don't create a business on the belief that you can do unlimited uploads into your linode VPS at full speed.  You won't be able to in the long run.<p>I would have preferred they provide wildly generous inbound allocations (First 5 Terabytes inbound is free, or something like that) than make a claim they can't stand behind.
