Just as an example: Hetzner's dedicated servers, which start around US$30/month, come with unlimited 1gbit connections (really unlimited, not "unlimited until we decide to throttle you").

If you max out that connection non-stop, you can push about 330 TB/month. The same amount of bandwidth from EC2 would cost roughly US$20,000.

Dedicated servers from Hetzner and OVH is what I use. Very sweet deals they have.

Are you actually able to max that out to all network peers? Have you measured this? That sounds fantastic.

No direct experience with Hetzner but for DataPacket, OVH, and FDCservers the answer is yes.

These companies are still pretty profitable.

If you colocate your own hardware you can go even lower than the bare metal hosts.
