I remember just 2-3 months ago they wouldn't say a word about DDoS protection, kind of surprised this comes out now. Wonder how well it'll work, especially considering they have Mumbai and Tokyo networks.

Thanks. I remember reading about it some months ago, now I see its up and running.
Ugh. Now I need to find (earn/save/search) 5$...
Edit: apparently the offer still works:
$20 credit for sign up if you google up. And apparently the $ 50/60 day credit for Mumbai DC is valid for this month.

A few people I know talked to them and basically it's there for the rare flood here/there, but if you're getting slapped and eating 30 - 50Gbit, you're going to get nulled.
Is this just me or is Linode indeed always a bit "conservative" when it comes to the implementation of new features? They are the Debian of hosting somehow...

Well, in that case they need to seriously change this copy as the marketing team got too excited ;-). They will end up having a lot of unhappy people because now it reads to me that they will happily rank unlimited size of attack, at any time, so long as it is volumetric.
I personally think that if smaller providers provide it Free and Unmetered that Linode does it the way they did for the Publicity. I just don't like when Large companies wanna act like we should care that they are doing what other small providers do after the meet their quota of course. Like SSL, certain things should be a given for being included with service, especially when it won't affect their already huge Profits when the smaller guys use what ever profits the can to provide what should be free.****Does NOT APPLY TO ABUSERS that will KNOWINGLY CAUSE ISSUES******* Those should get no benefit for doing what they do. I'm talking about the Honest Person wanting to enjoy and make use of the Internet.
Well, I'm sure Linode has it's qualities but DDoS Protection for Honest Good people Should be Standard Across the Board.

This is a match made in heaven for Asian Gamers.

no afaik

Haven't seen an invoice yet- the new account opening credit(s) did not work. Will wait till one of my VPS plans lapses, then set one up.
On a related note _ I am getting better speeds for Singapore location than Mumbai. In that case OVH Singapore makes more sense
