Yes, bandwidth is dirt cheap on a dedicated box. I run a service that constantly pushes over 90mbps over the wire (about 30TB a month) and I pay just over $100

Yes, bandwidth is dirt cheap on a dedicated box. I run a service that constantly pushes over 90mbps over the wire (about 30TB a month) and I pay just over $100 a month for two servers. The same bandwidth usage on EC2 (or any other 'cloud' provider for that matter) would cost me thousands.
