The "cost" of bandwidth is hard to determine but if you look at various hosting services you will see that they charge about FIVE CENTS per gigabyte. The actual behind the scenes cost is much lower.
Consider that GoDaddy gives you unlimited bandwidth for hosting even on their $8 monthly plans!
Now consider the Bell Fibe 6 which costs $32.
You get 25 gigs download.
The bandwidth is worth at most $1.25!
Overage fees are $1.00 to $2.50 per gig up to max $30
Or you can purchase the Usage Insurance plan
For only $5/month, the Usage Insurance plan gives you 40 GB of extra Internet usage, so you'll never have to worry about how much you upload and download.
These are absurdly high profit margins!
