How do you define "extremely expensive"?

Always-on scrubbing will typically run you $10k provisioning and $6-9k monthly for 100mbps of clean bandwidth from most of the providers.

Always on scrubbing has a number of factors depending on the provider you use. All charge for clean traffic but some charge for number of netblocks/ASNs, number of routers, number of attacks mitigated, etc. It can get extremely expensive depending on your traffic needs and all the other variables. Paying an extra $250,000+ year for 2 Gb/s of traffic is extremely expensive to me.
