No. There are no charges for in-bound or out-bound bandwidth.

Yes. Additional charges apply for bandwidth usage outside of the bundled amount. “Additional bandwidth transfer is only 2¢ per GB” says the “Pricing” page

Heya,

Bandwidth billing is automated and you can view your charges on your invoice. There are no regional variations on bandwidth pricing.

Droplets include free outbound data transfer, starting at 500 GiB/month for the smallest plan. Bandwidth allowances are determined by the Droplet’s size and type.

Excess data transfer is billed at $0.01 per GiB. Inbound bandwidth to Droplets is always free. To calculate bandwidth costs for your Droplets and databases, use our Bandwidth Calculator.

Hope that this helps!
