Pricing can be funny!

    Total Data Stored    Monthly Downloads    Cost
    1TB                  1000TB               $119,712/yr
    1000TB               1000TB               $72,000/yr
What is the cheapest TDS for a given 1000TB monthly downloads?

Seems to be:

    334TB                1000TB               $24,048/yr
So there are situations where uploading dummy files that pad with zeros will reduce your bill.

Edit: The 334 now seems obvious when you consider:

* Egress is $10/TB

* Store is $6/TB

Free Egress is 3x monthly data store. So egress costs $6/TB when you get it 'free' vs $10/TB, so you need it all free to get the cheapest egress, which means you need 1/3 storage that is egress. Any higher and your wasting money on storage!
