> From personal experience I know that 10TB per month is like 30k/year

Is this true? We are at 3TB and growing so I'm slightly concerned

It's not even 100Mbps sustained. That is nowhere near 30k/year or you're getting ripped off.

For 3k/month you can get a good quality 10Gbps link. That's 3.2PB with a P.

If you are doing any serious business you should have a plan B always ready (ie: fastly) and a downgraded state where you can operate without a CDN.

Almost all of our state is stored inside Durable Objects and R2 and we use Workers extensively

And by extensively I mean it's literally our entire infrastructure
