Running a podcast network, need CDN-like egress without CDN pricing. Target: 10TB monthly on $5 budget. I know this sounds like an error budget violation waiting to happen. Transparency: I've over-provisioned before and eaten the cost. Looking for bandwidth-arbitrage providers, not mockery. What actually exists in 2026?
WARNING! What could go wrong:

¡I am very passionate about this topic! Jajaja but serious, there is provider called RackNerd, they have "unmetered" with very very soft cap. I write long post before but delete, too emotional. Short version: is very possible if you find the right reseller chain. Jajaja
@pablowild please, "reserer chain"?? You mean rerayer of rerayer?? Server will cry
I try GreenCloudVPS before, 10TB easy, but network is "meh" help
Hoi anh chi em I find CloudCone very cheap hos ở nước ngoài but I not sure can trust ạ they say 20TB but CPU very weak ạ no support at all ạ you try already or not ạ
RackNerd's "soft cap" is just a billing surprise with extra steps

What's the actual CPU on that CloudCone plan, 1 core shared
20TB for cheap and "no support" sounds like a nightmare for a podcast network

DebDebi here from Gdansk. I administrate Linux from 2012. I see this thread and I think: you want 10TB for $5, you get what you pay. But I use GreenCloudVPS for backup storage, not for podcast. Their Vietnam location is cheap but routing to Europe is bad. For podcast you need routing good, not only bandwidth. I pay $8 for 2TB storage VPS, not 10TB. $5 is dream.
