I’ve been hosting my own matrix server for just a few months now. I have a small handful of users. Bandwidth hasn’t been a problem for me, as I’ve only served 5GB in the last 30 days. It’s the sheer number of requests that the server handles that I find staggering. In the last 30 days, my server has handled 1.3mm requests!

It seems like everything polls for data, which I see as wasteful. I recently saw they were adding socket support in a recent MSC... hopefully that will help.
