2. Show me a VPS host that has cheap bandwidth.

For example, lets say we need 10TB of transfer.

  Slicehost: $3,000 (0.30/GB !!! WTF are they smoking)
  Amazon: $1,250 (Assume 5TB in, 5TB out, in US)
  Linode: $1,000 (0.10/GB Good for VPS, but still crazy)

  Typical dedicated server: $99 with 10TB included.
Amazon is ridiculously expensive. I know it's really "hip" to use it, but it's throwing money away. I guess if it's VC's money then who cares if you get to say "We're cloud hosted!!!".

Bandwidth pricing on VPS hosts is just crazily expensive.
