>CHF 64.75/month with annual billing (CHF 777.-/year)

CHF 64.75 = ~$70USD. But why does 1 / 10 / 25Gbps all cost the same?

I am wondering if there are any cheap Swiss Cloud Storage that one could make use of the upload and download speed. You really could have an external HDD in a DataCenter.

Because bandwidth is cheap and people don’t use very much of it on average.

The one-time fee is for covering the expense of the faster optic.

The only expensive thing is the fiber optic line to your house. As long as that’s paid for, bandwidth usage is small potatoes.

Define cheap. I use Swissbackup [0] which is around 4$ per TB. And rsync.net is at init7 IIRC.
