Wow, the big providers are $$$$

I was naive and didn’t know things got cheaper than Bunny. I’ll have to investigate this.

Not sure on your use case, but I've been using Hetzner for a while and it does what it says on the tin.

For a fun comparison, a reasonable 1TB USB Stick costs slightly less than 1TB of AWS egress.

For a serious comparison, I'm not sure I'd call that "reasonable". A lot of use cases would very quickly exceed that drive's wear levelling and render it unusable.

You can shove most services behind cloudflare's CDN with a bit of jiggery pokery. I've used netlify + cloudflare's free tiers to great success a few times now.

This makes a lot of sense if you’re delivering static content. Cloudflare even has the Super Slurper which serves your S3 content and migrates it seamlessly to Cloudflare’s competitor R2 service, after which your egress is free.

no Contabo, no netcup - which are both cheaper than Hetzner

You don't buy bandwidth in a vacuum and a lot of providers bundle costs based on services or duration. I would take this whole list with a grain of salt.
