## Predictable Bandwidth: Zero Egress Surcharges

Traditional cloud providers penalize data retrieval through variable bandwidth charges:
- **AWS S3 Internet Egress**: ~$0.09 per GB = **$90.00 per TB downloaded**. Transferring 10 TB on AWS costs $900.00 in bandwidth alone.
- **Google Cloud Egress**: ~$0.08 - $0.12 per GB = **$80.00 - $120.00 per TB downloaded**.
- **Backblaze B2**: ~$0.01 per GB = **$10.00 per TB downloaded**.
- **VoidDrive**: **$0.00 Egress Fees**. Every plan includes generous, multi-terabyte monthly bandwidth allocations, guaranteeing total budget predictability.
