I think you don't realize that nobody buys GB of traffic wholesale. They buy bandwidth.


You are technically correct, which is the best kind of correct. Nobody buys GB of traffic wholesale, they buy TB of traffic because a GB is literally a rounding error.

What you probably meant to say was that wholesale bandwith is usually puchased by the Mbps on a 95th percentile billing, although you can alternatively buy by the TB from some providers.


AWS & Google Cloud customers obviously buy by the GB.
