There are many CDNs that make money charging < $0.01/gb.

Indeed DigitalOcean themselves built their place in the market by charging $0.01/gb for bandwidth. How do we reasonably get to $0.10 as is the case here?

If it were really that expensive for them they could outsource it to a CDN for well under $0.01/gb at their scale, which would leave them the ability to get margin. But all of this pricing is in fact completely detached from the underlying physical realities -- they are charging these prices because they think they can get away with it, not because they need to do so to cover costs and have some margin.

Bandwidth prices shouldn't be going up, indeed they should be going down. 100 gigabit interconnects are a thing now.
