It's just over 200 terabytes.

I've seen traffic advertised at €15/TB in Germany, that's €3.000/month.
EDIT: I screwed the units up a few times, sorry

86400 seconds/day + 1
0.7 gigabit/second * 30 days
0.7 gigabit/second * 1 monthhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=7Gb%2Fs+in+TB%2Fmon...
So at your €15/TB i would be €33,705 / month
Also €15/TB seems low as prices around the US are $0.10/GB so $100/TB which would equate to around $200k/month
Of course when you are pushing that much data you're going to want to pay per Mbit/s and with bandwidth as low as $3/Mbit we get around $21,000/month
What is probably happening here is that this guy has 7 dedicate servers at about $150 each per month that have a gigabit connection with say a couple of TB data allowance for each server and he's just saying that he has a capacity of 7Gb/s. The chat client is probably peer to peer so the video bandwidth for him is not that critical.
Even the best calculation is wrong when you plug in the wrong friggin data... I confused myself from converting gbit to GB and ended up with 0.7 gbit instead of 7 .. :-S
> Also €15/TB seems low
That's why I do business with them :) It's hetzner.de, and their "rootserver" (€49/month and up) comes with 2.000 GB free traffic. Extra is free, but capped at 10 mbit, or €14.90/TB. The servers are connected at 100 mbit, though. I'd guess that's just to keep the ethernet infrastructure cheap, and a gbit connection would be possible for a fee.
I'm not affiliated with them, just a happy customer.
