I meant 100TB/mo. But Bahnhof offers 10 000 Mbit/s.

How much does unmetered 10Gbps of back-end network transit cost?
In the US at scale I think it would be around $5,000/month. That gives you peak capacity of 3PB but you can’t expect anything like perfect utilization.
With a bit of hand-waving I would guess your provider’s transit cost is on the order of $3-5/TB/month...
Even if EU geography brings this down to $1/TB/month, they are losing money on you. I seriously doubt it’s going to be on the order of $0.10/TB/month for transit.
Contrast this with AWS bandwidth costs in Europe!

AWS transfer costs have no relation to this at all. They are fantasy numbers entirely disconnected to any sort of peering cost.

That’s why most of my comment was regarding commercial transit costs.
AWS is what bandwidth costs look like when it’s a profit center.
I would certainly expect residential lines, with the extreme overhead of operating the service, to be priced closer to AWS rates than to baseline commercial transit rates.
