500 Mbps, unlimited is the real deal here.

Datacenter grade unlimited connections are very valuable. Consider that someone like Google would charge you $0.10 per Gigabyte for egress traffic, and you can get that every 16 seconds with this connection...

I have no sources to link but from personal anecdotal experience, ~3$ a TB has been the average for every dedicated non-cloud provider I’ve used. I’ve not paid more than $10 a TB in quite a while.

This is not even counting bargain sellers like OVH, Online.net, Leaseweb, and Hetzner.

Higher tier datacenters like IBM (formerly Softlayer) offer 100tb dedicated servers for ~200$ through their affiliates and/or resellers.

Bandwidth prices have been on the decline everywhere except the cloud providers, who I honestly believe are gouging. Especially when I’ve encountered terrible throughput on some of them (I’m talking about you Azure, and your non-standard MTU mess)
