true we have no restrictions offpeak 12 hours a day when we have agreements with carriers not to charge anything for bandwidth as they have plenty capacity then, so we just pass on the savings to users
the problem is peak hours, even at 4.5-5$ a mbit @ 95th percentile the costs spiral very quickly:( and some places like iran where we get huge traffic from at times makes us nothing in income unfortunately
the bandwidth prices are falling rapidly but the amount of users from developing countries is growing exponentially, sometimes I envy google for their deep pockets and being able to afford services like youtube running
i run several large sites, all are very popular in south america, south east asia and middle east
but the bandwidth bills are huge as is in gigabits/s
what we started doing is capping speeds during peak hours to these places simply because not enough money is being made from sales and advertising to pay for it
i know net neutrality people say thats wrong but were not a charity and have to pay alot to carriers:(
