Current bandwidth pricing: Level3 (quite good) about $3/Mbps, Cogent (not as good), 70 cents/Mbps. So $700 to $3000 for a 1Gbit pipe depending on quality, though usually they will charge you a bit more and you will have 1Gbps on a burstable 10Gbe connection.
However - most people don't use anywhere near this amount - really, they are selling you a server connected to a gigabit switch.
As soon as over-subscription kicks in (it does immediately, since you don't start using 250Mbps the day you have your server installed) their bandwidth costs go to a fraction of what you are paying monthly.
