Indeed. If you're not using a cloud provider bandwidth is extremely cheap.

In fact locally I can get a 10 gbps home internet unmetered connection for $300/mo.

I'm not sure how they'd react if I transferred 1 PB/mo though :)

That’s pretty expensive. Sonic offers 1-10gbps (depending on where you live) unmetered symmetric connections for $60/mo to the Bay Area… they’re also the only ISP that petitioned the FCC in favor of net neutrality.

For work I end up transferring 50-150 gigs often, sometimes daily. Never heard a word from them that this has been a problem.

That's pretty cool, but I'd say the opposite that Sonic is crazy cheap.

Is my math wrong here? 10 gbps -> 8s per 10 GB -> 800s per 1TB -> 80,000s per 1PB -> 22.3 hrs at full speed for 1 PB?

If you search "1pib/(10 gbps)" on google, you'll get 10.4 days.

An unmetered 10G port at a US data center is ~$1500/mo. Not particularly expensive

800,000s per 1PB, off by a 10 factor

Thanks!

Fully saturated you could transfer a few petabytes per month on a 10gig line.
