Are you serving files other then html/images/css, etc? 300tb is a lot, AWS cloudfront would be charging ~$6000/month by a quick estimate.

Recognize they were probably taking a loss with your business, I'm surprised you didn't discuss how much bandwidth you were expecting when you agreed to the contract, sounds like a miscommunication.

Cloud front is also pretty expensive bandwidth wise. CDNs has a pretty wide range of quality, features and pricing.

I would put Cloudflare in the lower tier of quality but they do have a lot of features. If the OP only cares about raw bandwidth pricing, then they could probably find a CDN with no features except file serving and reporting for about $1500.

They’d have to compromise a little on Time to first byte but there’s a lot of applications where that matters less like video serving.
