When it comes to bandwidth, you can't really compete with Cloudflare.

Your $200/month plan gives us 10TB. I've served over 50TB on Cloudflare's $20/month plan, which probably makes me a "bad customer", but it's nice not having to worry about this when someone decides to use a direct link to a video or image I host.

They don't allow video streaming on their regular plans. How are you able to serve up videos on the $20/month plan?

Cloudflare works as a reverse proxy, it loads what's on your server. We can cache videos by using a page rule.

I guess they only ask you to upgrade if you serve a huge amount of bandwidth.
