The official PyPI packkages are hosted on Fastly. I believe they donate the infrastructure costs through the Python Software Foundation, as the bandwidth is over 300TB a day, and would cost about 1.8 million dollars a month.

- minusf 5y agointeresting article. where is the 300 TB number coming from? > The “maximum” here is per-day, so this means that at the peak (which was the day I made these graphs) PyPI served nearly 900 terabytes over more than 2 billion requests per day.
