Ten years ago, I had a pretty reasonable $10/mo account, that I eventually moved to a $20/mo account because I needed more resources to keep up with traffic.
I'd expect that, as more transistors have been packed blah blah blah, that such a $10/mo account would have gotten better, not worse, since then.

- walrus01 7y agobandwidth does drop in price, and increase in capacity, at a fairly rapid rate. Look at what an ISP might pay for a 10GbE IP transit circuit in 2008 vs what you can get a 100GbE circuit for today. But peoples' bandwidth needs and traffic also grow rapidly.
