$0.10/GiB bandwidth. Ouch. That's 10x what they charge for droplets exceeding their included bandwidth. Seems to follow the trend of grossly overcharging for bandwidth that most other PaaS providers do.

Yea, that was my thought exactly. It's nuts, considering they offer Space (S3 alternative) with 1TB out outbound for $5/m (ignoring the fact that they are providing 250gb of storage as well).

I was really keen on on until I saw that section.

That's insane - it's more than even Azure charge! They say in this very article how simple their pricing is, but that's just dishonest of they are charging for bandwidth (and through the nose at that).
