I think I posted here about how to find places to host nodes
for diversity. The same applies for bandwidth. If you survey the
pipe market, you will find the true avg price of bandwidth. Don't
ever expect to be able to connect to and use that bandwidth
without:
a) paying more for what is attached to and servicing it
b) paying less without tradeoffs

If you're signing up for unmetered miracle deals you should
also ask specifically if your account will be grandfathered
when it comes time for them to pay their bills or their VC
money dries up.
