Megaport Object Storage Billing
Megaport Object Storage billing has two components:
- The Megaport Object Storage VXC (the network connection to the storage) is billed by Megaport and appears on your Megaport invoice.
- Storage consumption (the amount of storage you use each month) is billed by Latitude.sh and appears on your Latitude.sh invoice.
For more information about contract terms and pricing, see Megaport Object Storage Pricing and Contract Terms.
Megaport Object Storage VXC billing
VXC billing starts as soon as the Megaport Object Storage connection is live. Megaport bills the VXC monthly on a postpaid basis.
You can view Megaport invoices in the Megaport Portal. For more information, see Downloading an Invoice.
Storage consumption billing
Latitude.sh bills you for your storage consumption. For more information, see Latitude.sh Billing and Latitude.sh Invoices.

Billing Details table
The Billing Details table shows the configured speed for the connection, as well as any changes made to the speed during the selected month. Each speed change creates a new entry in the table.
Each entry includes these billing details:
- Speed (Mbps) – The configured speed for the connection.
- Start/End – The date range that the connection was configured at this speed. Time is displayed as UTC+10 (Brisbane time).
- Duration – The length of time that the connection is expected to be configured at the current speed. When viewing the current month, the duration for the last configured speed is extended to the end of the 28-day billing cycle, and the price is calculated based on that duration.
- Price – The cost of the connection in the market-enabled currency. The price is based on the amount of time that the connection was configured at that speed.
Optionally, click Download CSV to download the billing data shown in the comma-separated values (CSV) format. You can use the CSV file to import the data into spreadsheets and databases. You can open the CSV file in any text editor.
