Sorry, I may not have been clear. I read that document, it's great, but it talks about the bandwidth you need, as in how fat a pipe, the constant and burst rate, but not the actual amount of gig transferred. That is more for the 'set it up at your house' methods of running a server.
If you look at various Cloud hosting providers, they will charge you for the amount of bandwidth consumed in transferred GB. The idea is that you should not have to worry about the fatness of your pipe, they will scale to accommodate that, they will give you a burst up to infinity, since it's Microsoft, or Amazon and their bandwidth is insanely high, but what they will charge you for is usage.
For example some actual Azure pricing:
5 GB - 10 TB 2 /Month
Zone 1: $0.087 per GB
Zone 2: $0.138 per GB
Zone 3: $0.181 per GB
This is a charge for the amount of data transfer.
I hope this clarifies my actual question. I know that people mentioned running on Azure, so they may know... They may have never even used their free data transfer, but they may be able to see how much they use for what users they have.
