I meant 100TB/mo. But Bahnhof offers 10 000 Mbit/s.

- zaroth 7y agoHow much does unmetered 10Gbps of back-end network transit cost? In the US at scale I think it would be around $5,000/month. That gives you peak capacity of 3PB but you can’t expect anything like perfect utilization. With a bit of hand-waving I would guess your provider’s transit cost is on the order of $3-5/TB/month... Even if EU geography brings this down to $1/TB/month, they are losing money on you. I seriously doubt it’s going to be on the order of $0.10/TB/month for transit. Contrast this with AWS bandwidth costs in Europe!
- stefan_ 7y agoAWS transfer costs have no relation to this at all. They are fantasy numbers entirely disconnected to any sort of peering cost.
- zaroth 7y agoThat’s why most of my comment was regarding commercial transit costs. AWS is what bandwidth costs look like when it’s a profit center. I would certainly expect residential lines, with the extreme overhead of operating the service, to be priced closer to AWS rates than to baseline commercial transit rates.
