$1/Mbps per what (unit time)?

Per month, usually (billed 95%ile). That price will decrease by quite a bit with more volume.

Thanks. How long has it been roughly $1/Mbps/Month ? Do you know of any sources with historical data?

Average was $0.63/mbit in 2015, and I personally haven't seen lower than $0.40/mbit.

That really depends on volume, location, and provider. For large volumes and cheaper providers (Cogent, HE.net, etc) it's been that way for 2-4 years or more. HE.net will now sell a full 10GbE port for $2600/mo, Cogent isnt too far behind. Sub $0.40/Mbit at >25Gbps volumes in major locations is doable.
