BS! If you find me 500Gb for 50 cents or less delivered I will buy it right this very minute. |

5TB of transfers, $5.95/month. That's $.60 cents per 500 GB. Close enough. |

Alexandria, VA | First comparing cost of bandwidth in a datacenter and delivered via the last mile is apples and oranges. Second, have you pushed 5 TB with Dreamhost, because I seriously doubt you ever get 5 TB for $6/mth in a shared hosting plan. |

It is BS. Cheapest transit you'll find is $4/mbit from Cogent. That comes out to (at 100% utilization) roughly 321GB, or (divide by eight) ~40.2GB per 50 cents. Of course, Bell's network is internal and self-owned, so their costs would be significantly lower than this. |

Dreamhost will cut you off at 400 GB's (usually less) or so since they aren't exactly the most honest people. I pay around 5 cents a gb for my datacenter for the first 2 TB's of data then 10 cents overage for everyother gb. It's really really cheap. |

That's shared bandwidth in a data center. Thanks for playing. Please try again. |

That may be the raw cost of bandwidth but it certainly not the cost of delivering that bandwidth. |

There's still a huge difference between the cost of bandwidth in a datacenter or a peering point and the last mile broadband connections heading into people's homes. |
