According the hosting provider I'm at 11.85 Mbps for this week, using = 95th percentile billing. The report from my provider includes my other serv= ers though.

My node consumes fantastic amounts of data traffic, which is a real cost.
In the 30 days ending Apri 6, my node:

* Received 36.8 gb of data
* Sent 456.5 gb data

At my geographic service location (Singapore), this cost about $90 last mon= th for bandwidth alone. It would be slightly cheaper if I was hosted in the= US of course.

But anyone can understand that moving a half-terrabyte of data around in a = month will not be cheap.
