I've wondered the same. bandwidth is still very expensive at scale. How TOR exit nodes could afford it years ago is a mystery to me. There's some ISP's that host their own in europe, but aren't there still expensive charges when all that bandwidth goes out of their network?

It is extraordinarily cheap at scale, you can buy a gigabit port that you can blast at 1000mbit all day, every day, forever for around $300 a month (which comes out to about 300 TB of traffic in a month). If you stick with providers like AWS or Amazon, sure its absurdly expensive, but its yet another way they have a huge amount of markup.
