-These servers may be donated with bandwidth and colocation space if you have
-them. Otherwise, we can provide these services and you can simply ship the
-machine to our colocation facility.  Average bandwidth consumption for a main
-rotation mirror is currently ~7Mbps (around 2 TB per month). As the number of
-main rotation mirrors increases, this number should decrease accordingly.
+You would maintain physical possession ownership of the hardware, and keep it
+online in your own colocation space. Average bandwidth consumption for each
+main rotation mirror is currently ~10Mbit/sec (around 2.6 TiB per month). As
+the number of main rotation mirrors increases, this number should decrease
+accordingly.
