It looks like in 2012 they transferred 42PB of data, which is pretty crazy. I assume their numbers are far higher now. It's impressive they can make it all work

It looks like in 2012 they transferred 42PB of data, which is pretty crazy. I assume their numbers are far higher now. It's impressive they can make it all work.
I didn't know that Reddit had invested money in the company either, that could potentially be a pretty big boon for them.
- Consultant32452 13y agoI wonder if 42PB of data would trigger a bandwidth cap on my T-Mobile unlimited 4G plan.
- ihuman 13y agoMost "unlimited" plans have caps where they throttle you bandwidth. So you would never reach 42PB per month anyway, let alone 42PB ever.
- Consultant32452 13y agoThat was sort of the joke, but T-Mobile has real unlimited with no throttling or caps.
- landr0id 13y agoI think that if you got to the point where you're using a significant amount of mobile data and you alone are impacting other customers' experience significantly, they'd ask you to knock it off.
- psykovsky 13y agoOh, you still haven't reached the point of pissing them off with your abuse.
- Matsta 13y agoThey use Edgecast's CDN (which is now owned by Verizon?) https://www.edgecast.com/company/news/edgecast-powers-imgur https://www.edgecast.com/company/news/edgecast-powers-imgur Off the top of my head, I think they offer their bigger clients pricing of $0.02-0.04 per gigabyte. I could be wrong though. 44040192gb *0.02 = $880,803 / 12 = $73,400/month.
