I'm talking about actual unmetered where you pay for a dedicated amount of bandwidth, e.g. 1 Gbps / 10 Gbps / 20 Gbps. 10 Gbps usually goes for about $1k-$2k/mo in the US. This is how colo facilities have operated for decades.

10 Gbps fully saturated delivers about 3300TB for that $1-2k/mo, versus the $22k/mo you'd pay AWS for the same.

I'm absolutely not talking about the "unlimited bandwdith" bullshit that discount hosts offer.
