Just for safety I better post it in this thread as well:
We will do some spot checks regarding the bandwidth our storage nodes have. We will run the new remote benchmark tool against some random selected nodes for a short duration. We are going to use big piece sizes to compensate for the fact that the performance improvements are not rolled out yet. We hope we will still get an accurate reading. The data will be unpaid because we upload the pieces to the storage nodes without commiting the result to the satellite. Garbage collection is going to clean it up later. We will keep the upload burst short to keep the amount of unpaid data as low as possible.
