Paying for bandwidth is crazy.

Somebody pays for that bandwidth though?

Paying for outbound bandwidth is a big one.

Bandwidth isn't free.

Bandwidth is sold in bulk, pennies by the gigabyte. Not dollars. It's not just covering their costs, it's obscene.

Bandwidth is not cheap for many of us.

Bandwidth ain't free.

Bandwidth is cheap until you run out and then it's very expensive.

i've always wondered how they can afford paying for bandwidth costs...

wahnfrieden | karma 6701 | avg karma 1.65 · | 2014-01-16 02:02:47+00:00

Bandwidth costs money, as does licensing.

abatilo | karma 230 | avg karma 2.56 · | 2023-05-27 11:19:11

Those bandwidth costs are going to be so expensive

charcircuit | karma 2002 | avg karma 0.38 · | 2021-07-14 16:29:29

The bandwidth cost makes me cry.

rayiner | karma 121493 | avg karma 4.24 · | 2015-01-16 21:50:40+00:00

It's almost as if bandwidth isn't free.

Seriously. I don't even consider a provider if they want to charge for bandwidth. I'm doing about 50 TB/mo atm.

mrkurt | karma 10643 | avg karma 5.02 · | 2021-09-08 23:14:21

Where else are you going to pay those bandwidth rates?

teknologist | karma 348 | avg karma 1.02 · | 2015-03-29 23:31:49+00:00

Bandwidth don't come for free. That's a shit-ton of junk data battering their servers.

jszymborski | karma 7610 | avg karma 3.53 · | 2023-02-07 23:31:15

The bandwidth isn't much fun to pay for though.

dj_mc_merlin | karma 3976 | avg karma 5.85 · | 2021-04-14 15:04:45

For under 1TB in monthly bandwith many providers just straight up give it for free. And that bandwidth cost is crazy high regardless.

deadbunny | karma 3746 | avg karma 2.92 · | 2021-09-19 14:06:22

The bandwidth paid for by their customers you mean?

brokentone | karma 2617 | avg karma 4.93 · | 2013-07-02 14:54:07+00:00

Still have to pay someone for bandwidth
