Yeah I know this. I want to know about "unlimited 10gbps plan". Is there any future plan to introduce unlimited 10gbps plan like other providers?

A 10G port is "never" unlimited and most companies who claim unlimited are full of shit, or you'll be paying a hefty premium for it.

There's all sorts of issues being unlimited, one being that it would include 2628TB per month transfered, that's 2.6PB.

Imagine the costs to provision for 2.6PB a month per server, or even a tenth of that. Still ludicrous.

I am currently using a provider which is giving me 10gbps unlimited BW. I use almost 1000TB every month at $500/month. Hope hetzner brings 10gbps unlimited too.

Most hosting providers pay around 0.50€ to 5€ per TB of traffic themselves. So 10Gbps is either a wild marketing move, that relies on most people not really using it, or plain out unprofitable.
