What is the difference between Network In and Network Out? I am interested in the Linode 4GB, 4 Cores, 96 GB SSD, 4 TB 40 Gbps 500 Mbps. Are these folks saying I can get 500 Mbps download speeds for my website? Because when I ran their bin file to test, I was getting 2.4MB. What am I missing here?
500 Mbps is 59.6MB

"Network In" is how fast things can come to your Linode. "Network Out" is how fast they can go out of your Linode. They are caps, not guarantees: various protocols involve various amounts of overhead, are limited by other resources like CPU, or self-throttle, and routes over the internet will affect actual end-to-end speed.
