[tor-relays] Fast Exit Node Operators - ISP in US

[Syrup-tan]

Turns out the colocation costs $672/year for the network, and another $780/year for power, so I don’t think Voxility is very feasible for an exit node without bargaining with them.

I recently rented a dedi from Online.net <http://online.net/> (http://www.online.net/en/dedicated-server/dedibox-xc <http://www.online.net/en/dedicated-server/dedibox-xc>) which offers unmetered b/w, but I’ve heard bad things about the network.
I’ll do some testing this weekend on whether or not I can get the full 150Mb/s link.
