Unmetered / high bandwidth (100TB?) for cheap

hzr

I'm looking for some dedis with >50TB on gbit, or shared unmetered gbit.
BGP session is preferred. Legal content, https serving.

Location: anywhere EU, no ovh/hetzner/etc usual (already have hundreds of machines here)

Bandwidth quality: Don't really care as long as I can serve a ton of bandwidth in aggregate

Budget: As cheap as possible; would prefer <$40/m

Min CPU: Anything with AES support

Min RAM: 4-8GB

Min Disk: 1TB+

your budget is too low

Still working on the furporn, huh?

Great network, if you can increase your budget bit more ...

These servers have only 100Mbps uplink, upgrade to 1Gbps cost €10 monthly

Even after that the price is quite good - https://www.worldstream.nl/en/dedicated/custom/order/Intel_Core_i5_2500K_3_30GHz?config_token=6194e174428fd37e63cf49cfe90f2b78

This is actually a very good question. I could see myself (or another person) needing this info sometime in the future.

I hope there is a way to document answers to good questions @AnthonySmith

Elaborate?

Like a wiki or something?

100TB = 300Mbit average. No way that will cost $40, let alone on a 1G port.

Assume the cheapest bandwidth around is around $0.20 /Mbit (in USA from HE.net or Cogent) and 300Mbit alone will cost you at least $60 /month, not including the server or anything else.

Maybe contact @William?
He said he can sometimes arrange special deals for lots of outgoing traffic:

This is, by public available numbers, true but some carriers do cut HE in specific locations to balance the backbone or get specific usage (a large Nordic fiber ISP with 80%+ inbound comes to mind, desperately looking to sell 50G+ outbound at near zero cost, but only if you transport yourself or use their colo, because they pay 95/5 like everyone else and paid for this BW never used). Deals like this generate a good amount of my secondary income and consulting work but require at last contacts (market knowledge optional, really, if you have the best deal someone will bite fairly easy, the Germans would say it sells like warm bread).

If you have an exact target demographic, say your videohoster is basically only popular in Russia so your traffic from there is 50%+ (or calculated based on profit high enough to justify specific network tweaks and setup cost) a single MSK-IX port and a few nice emails by a native speaker can render your BW bill from 1$/Mbit HE to 13c/Mbit (10G) or 6c/Mbit (100G).

Same is true for most countries, and a lot of things can be worked out with fairly simple edge caching nodes strategically placed as deep as possible - and surprise surprise, most ISPs are more than willing to let you colo in city A with essentially free local BW if they can avoid a lot of backhaul cost to city B. This is network design/management at side A (technical) and contacts on B, also a lot of my consulting hours going there.

Haven't you considered the obvious H3tzner bandwidth loophole: 20TB included with the 2.5 Euro instances?

Just reverse proxy to a Hetzner dedi holding your content ( the internal bandwidth is not metered AFAIK)

That's the only way I see 100TB happening for $15
