The other side
When you should pick VeilStream instead
Every comparison page on this site has this section. A page that claims we win at everything is an advertisement, and you already know how much those are worth.
- A lower headline price on residential bandwidth if you are willing to prepay for a year.
- A mature affiliate and reseller programme, if reselling is your business model.
- More exotic country coverage in a handful of small markets.

Questions
Switching from VeilStream
- Why is VeilStream’s advertised price lower than yours?
- Because it is an annual-prepay price and ours is not. We publish one number that applies whether you buy 100 GB today or 100 GB a month for a year. Configure the same spec on both sites and compare the checkout totals — that is the comparison that costs you money.
- Do I have to commit to twelve months to get your best rate?
- No. Our tiers move on volume alone, and once you buy, that rate is locked for twelve months. There is no contract to sign and no renewal reprice.
- What happens to unused traffic?
- It stays in your account. We do not expire bandwidth, monthly or otherwise.
