| Re: If metered, What cost would you pay? said by nate1234:What cost per GB or 10GB would you pay? Let's look at Amazon Ec2 transport costs (why not?)
from »aws.amazon.com/ec2/#pricing
Internet Data Transfer
The pricing below is based on data transferred "in" and "out" of Amazon EC2.
Data Transfer In
All Data Transfer $0.10 per GB
Data Transfer Out
First 10 TB per Month $0.17 per GB
Next 40 TB per Month $0.13 per GB
Next 100TB per Month $0.11 per GB
Over 150 TB per Month $0.10 per GB
So, you're looking at 10 cents per GB to 17 cents per GB. 250GB is $25-$42.50 depending on the in/out mix - call it $35 on average.
That's probably a bit more then the carry cost for Amazon (ie, they make a buck  )
Using a hosting service like Godaddy, you'll get 300GB/mo for your $5/mo web site. That's pretty cheap. Want cheaper? inmotionhosting.com gives you 1TB/mo on their cheap personal hosting plan.
This show you that the cost is associated more with the customer side then the backhaul - apparently backhaul is nearly free.
Funny Aside... »www.isp-planet.com/business/pricing3a.html - in 1999 using a T1 full out would cost you $4/GB! Your 250GB allotment from comcast would be the same as using a full T1 for 35 days, or $1000.
