Keep in mind that the services you use have to pay money for bandwidth, too.


Transit bandwidth for a tier 2 ISP costs under $500 x 1 Gbs / month. Considering usage patterns and that the bandwidth is shared across users its a negligible cost from what I understand. I work for an ISP and from what I can tell all the money goes to employing people and the left over goes to infrastructure.


If Gabe complains I'll stop.
