Here's another one:

You can download 1TB of data for free from AWS each month, as Cloudfront has a free tier [1] with 1TB monthly egress included. Point it to S3 or whatever HTTP server you want and voila.

[1] It used to be 50GB per month for the first 12 months. It was changed to 1TB free forever shortly after Cloudflare posted https://blog.cloudflare.com/aws-egregious-egress

That "shortly" was 2 years, that Cloudflare post had nothing to do with it, Amazon barely considers them a competitor to begin with.

Sigh, I should have quoted both side, here is it: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/aws-free-tier-data-transfer...

Cloudflare rant was posted in July 2021, new Cloudfront free tier was there Nov 2021. I consider changing pricing like this for AWS in 4 months pretty fast.

Where is your 2 years number comes from?
