Google Cloud's bandwidth pricing is much more reasonable. That's one thing I see. Google, Microsoft, and Amazon still charge the standard big cloud absolutely ludicrous bandwidth markup, stuff like $0.08/gig.

If you know what bandwidth actually costs, that's like $500/gallon gasoline.

Oracle is still expensive relative to wholesale bandwidth but it's at least not absolutely insane.

'percentage based growth'

Sure if you have 5 customers and got 5 more, that would be 100% growth...
