- jcrawfordor 7y agoYeah, but bandwidth in a DC is pretty expensive too, it's just billed on a totally different basis. That can actually make these things a bit more complicated because if you're paying for bandwidth on a 95%ile or dedicated basis you end up managing your budget by slowing down everyone's downloads... and that has a real impact on user experience that could have all those projects shifting to a different provider. Getting a big chunk (250mbps? 500mbps?) of dedicated bandwidth will really help you on the way to $75k annually.
