Has anyone used Windscribe?
I haven't used it, but I've seen their agressive discounts (and don't like that for a VPN).
I noticed one of the accounts used 60 PB/month.
That's 23 GB/s on average. I highly doubt that. Where did you notice this?
While I doubt I'll hit that high in my monthly usage, I've been wondering if it's time to drop them off (although they're one of the cheapest options for me).
With many things, and that includes bandwidth consumption, the 80/20-rule applies: 80% of the bandwidth is used by 20% of the users. And within that 20%, it applies again. That means that most users pay more because of the costs created by a small portion of excessive users. A Fair Use Policy can help prevent excessive costs from a few people.
I'd like to see more price models like this:
I stumbled upon
this thread on Lowendtalk. Note that I wouldn't trust that VPN, comments say it's not encrypted and basically only meant to avoid the Great Firewall of China, but I like the price model: €1/TB, unlimited time. Especially for light users, paying per TB could be a better deal than unlimited bandwidth while you pay per month. But I haven't seen any other VPN provider offer that.
For reference: 1 TB would last me about 3 months on my desktop, and many years on my phone.
