How do they make a profit with €8.99mo, even with €20 setup, and make a profit?

especially when they include guaranteed unmetered 1Gbit/sec and unmetered traffic?

I think perhaps the "Scaleway" brand name is less about what their users can do with their products, and more about what their business model is.

As for their hardware, I believe they have designed all of the physical servers themselves, so they'll contain nothing they don't need. https://www.scaleway.com/features/hardware/

1. Buy hardware in bulk 2. Offer incentive for quarterly/yearly subscription 3. Over provision network
