> And you're right, of course, that if you're paying $0.05/GB for outbound bandwidth and using 2-3 TB/month, you're using $1200-$1800 of bandwidth per year. So $3500 isn't entirely beyond belief. This is extremely expensive compared to cloudflare stream. They price it by viewing time instead of by counting bandwidth and quotes ~$500 to serve 72,000 minutes of viewing time. Or if you're on budget you can convert your video to HLS with ffmpeg and host it on your own server from providers with cheap bandwidth like hetzner or ovh to save on cdn cost.

True, but if you compare to AWS, the S3 "First 10 TB / Month" tier is $0.09 per GB [1], and the Cloudfront "First 10TB" north America tier is $0.085 per GB and more for other regions [2] - or if you look at KeyCDN [3] for America that's $0.04 per GB, and again more for other regions. So HillRat's $0.05/GB figure isn't the most expensive out there :) [1] https://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/ https://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/ [2] https://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/pricing/ https://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/pricing/ [3] https://www.keycdn.com/pricing https://www.keycdn.com/pricing
