The cheapest bandwidth most can buy is about 2-3$ per mb/s in the US. Likely to be more expensive in europe.

That would mean each gigabit would cost between 2k-3k USD.

That adds up to around $5 billion a month. I think your estimate is a bit off ;-)

He probably means "2-3$ per megabit/sec".

So $14,000 - $21,000 per month. Still seems too much.

You can get a TB traffic for 15€ (Gigabit port) in Europe.
