That number sounds in the ballpark.

There's a bunch of providers in Europe that will give you a whole server for €50/month with unmetered 1gbps networking. Or, as I like to consider it, €50/month for 1 gbps networking, and you get a free server.

Yeah, their networks may not have as much complexity and features as AWS, but I've never found any of that complexity appealing. Keep your network simple and let your hosts do the work.

Average is playing here : you pay 50€/mo for 1gbps, and takes into account that most people won't use 1Gbps

It is the same for home internet connections : the offers is defined by the average use.

AWS and friends, on the other side, do not care about averages, and avoid you that burden too : what matter is how much you consumed, not "when" or "how" you consumed int

Do remember this isn't the cost of an actual unmetered 1Gbps, just the part they expect you to use on average. I know Hetzner is pretty generous, but some people have been asked to reduce their bandwidth after using 250TB/month consistently for several months (that's about an actual fully utilized 1Gbps).
