I recently signed up and bought 2 years of access (in advance) to a Linode 512 plan. But on the Linode manager, it's saying I only have 73GBs of bandwidth per month rather than the advertised 200GB.

What gives? Did I miss something?

Thanks,
Craig

You signed up in the middle of the month, so you only get the remaining traffic (200GB/30) * remaining days. But you also only paid for the remaining days of the month.

Next month, you will get the full 200GB.

Hello,

The network transfer is pro-rated, just like your bill was

Hope that helps!

Oh wow, that's pretty awesome actually.

Thanks for clearing that up!
