I own and operate Broadcastify.com, which is arguably the largest icecast implementation in the world.

We've been using 100TB.com for our audio streaming infrastructure, which is a softlayer reseller. I've been unable to find anyone else that provides better pricing for bandwidth than they do.

All of our Web infrastructure, provisioning, archiving, etc is spread between AWS and Google Cloud though.

Audio broadcasting on the Internet is indeed an interesting field to be in!

How does 100TB.com beat Hetzner? Their $5 virtual server comes with 2TB whereas Hetzner offers 20TB.
I don't know - but I'm not deploying infrastructure on $5 virtual servers that are marketed and designed to support a personal blog.

Paying 200-300/month for 100TB of data transfer on a dedicated host is where I'm at with 100TB.com

FWIW most providers can easily beat that. OVH in Canada offers good quality unmetered Gbit at below 100/mo with the hardware included.

still a hetzner dedicated host would be as low as 25Euro/month and has unmetered 1Gbit which would be 324 TB . (i use them , but not affiliated - was just making calculations aloud)
Can you not move to using SoftLayer directly? The closest page IBM has to something like a sales page is unclear.
