Actually, the German Strato AG also has switched their dedicated
servers, starting at EUR 70 a month, to an unlimited traffic plan. No
fair-use or similar downsides.
I'd just like to know what the bandwidth per switch is... and how many
servers share that bandwidth.
I don't know and I doubt they will tell you. On the other hand Strato is
one of the major hosting players on the German market. I'm convinced
bandwidth will be sufficient for a tor node running on apples and
oranges hardware.
More expensive than IP traffic will be ISP's personnel expenses for a
tor exit gw's abuse handling.
Why? They just have to point the finger at the server's owner.

even each case takes only about 15min average, it becomes expensive.
That's not much work to do. I bet they have standardized emails for such cases.
German police do not use email for their inquiries. Usually the letter
from police arrives first as fax and a few days later in writing. Not to
mention they expect the answer pointing to me the same way. The only
known exception accepting email communication I'm aware of has been a
German secret service.
