900TB/day

I'd be really curious what kind of CDN deal they're getting.

At regular CDN rates you're looking at ballpark $150k/month for that kind of traffic (rather optimistic extrapolation from my own rates...).

Also the figures remain mind-boggling regardless how you slice them. 900T/day breaks down to a healthy ~80 GBit/s average. That's more than most mid-sized datacenter uplinks (plus conveniently ignoring any bell curves they may have).




From a presentation some YouPorn dude did, I picked up 600k$/month as their bandwidth cost for all their properties.


Yup that seems more realistic (my estimate was too optimistic then). Works out to around 2.2ct/GB. Personally I haven't seen a CDN quote below 10ct/GB, but we also measure our traffic in TB/month, not TB/day.


This is helpful. It is mapping to about $5.50 per TB served. Do you have data sources you can site?


or cite even.


Cited Pricing - Amazon is obviously a lot more expensive, even when you are moving 5 Petabytes+/month: http://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/#pricing

About $20/Terabyte.
