It's not incompetent or even more expensive if you assume network bandwidth is a fixed cost.

- gamepsys 3y agoWhy would we assume network bandwidth is a fixed cost? Everyone pays for network transmissions.
- viraptor 3y agoKind of, but not that simple. You can pay for contracts where you commit to using x PB of traffic over some period at a heavily discounted rate or agreed amount, then pay extra over that. You can even have commitments, where if you don't use as much as you promised, you pay penalties for the difference. In edge cases, it becomes cheaper to waste some bandwidth in a given month/quarter.
