Where is it said? Is there any confirmation of this and can it be verified somehow?
Is there an ETA on this ?

You can check it on your dashboard, traffic from Test satellites almost 0, only reaper.
I can confirm this, traffic from test satellites is mostly repair. On dashboard, select a test satellite, then on the first graph hover your mouse on that and you see what the traffic is made from.
There are storagenodes, like mine, that operate in areas with low latency and high internet speed and bandwidth. Those nodes are more dependent on egress traffic that some other nodes seem to be, looking at the comments under this post.
For example, on my (completely filled up) node, egress traffic makes up for 80% of my storj revenue.
Cutting the egress payout in half would still be bigger of a hit to my earnings than completely leaving out the used storage payouts. I would still want to continue to run my nodes at the proposed 10$ egress rates because I already have them running and have bought the hardware but 5$/TB is too little IMO.
These payment adjustments have a bigger impact on high speed, high quality nodes and pretty much no impact on low-speed nodes that are more dependent on storage and repair payouts…
Please close this thread as there is an updated thread about payouts
