Black Cat Networks. I would post a link to the email but the archives

I was originally paying £50/month with BCN for a 1U box, 100GB transfer
(50p for each GB used over that), up to 0.5A, serial console, remote
power cycle, as my IPv4 addresses as one can justify and an IPv6 /64.

They bumped their prices up to £75/month sometime last year due to
RedBus doing so.

Something similar would be nice :-)
