Got to love DO. Simple pricing, nothing hidden, not the most feature rich ecosystem, but I get no billing surprises. Source: customer for 3 years.
Corporate prefers paying yearly to paying monthly, and for that reason work uses Linode. (Which is not bad either, IMO)

We use Direct Connect to get traffic to edge nodes where we buy fixed 10Gbps links and pay a fraction of the AWS cost. AWS bandwidth costs are ridiculous.
Direct connect still charges per GB out. The cheapest listed location is $0.02/Gb.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
$0.01/GB is fantastic, but I have a bandwidth intensive ML media application and don't know how to monetize or sell it quickly enough to pay for my bandwidth costs. Is there a cloud or dedicated server farm with even cheaper outbound bandwidth? Edit: as much as I hate Oracle, their first 10TB is free, and each GB after that is $0.0085/GB. Better...
I'm transferring out ~5TB/day and pay no charges for it. I'm using scaleway ( https://www.scaleway.com/en/pricing/ )

you cannot peer 2 vpcs that have an overlap but you can have multiple vpcs that have overlaps. it only matters for the 2 vpcs you want to peer
But AWS tells you to not overlap them, and likely keeps that behavior for legacy reasons.
If you're launching ephemeral networks for testing VMs / virtual appliances in their own, isolated networks, it can be totally feasible to have lots of them using the same addresses. You can only create 5 VPCs (at all) by default per AWS account, but they'll raise that limit for you if you request it.
When are you going to have a datacenter in Brazil? We don't mind if we have to pay more than your listed prices for other locations. We know Brazil is more expensive. Just do it already.

If you’re okay with servers located in Germany, Hetzner is a provider I can vouch for and they offer additional egress at 1EUR/TB. 20TB included, too. (Billing has been rather painful, though.)

Texts too with phishing urls in them trace the IPs you find they are digital ocean VMs. The worst part is here in Canada we have to pay for incoming texts.
Sounds like you are on a pre-pay plan?
Some plans will claim it's an "unlimited texting plan" but really the charges are still there hidden. Maybe the provider has an agreement with other mobile phone providers to reimburse them for texts their customers send.
My last provider refunded the cost if I forwarded the message to their spam department text number.
We have pretty terrible mobile phone plans and rules here in Canada.
I'm glad they plugged their outbound network transfer fees compared to the others[1]. I was shocked and horrified when my AWS bill (which I pay myself) quadrupled due to outgoing network transfer fees. It's truly outrageous what they charge. I use Digital Ocean a lot now simply to avoid nasty surprises like that. I hope AWS and Google change that. [1] https://blog.digitalocean.com/its-all-about-the-bandwidth-wh...
Guess who‘s favorite evil corp cloud is a magnitude cheaper than AWS on transfer pricing? Oracle, which is why Zoom just signed a deal. https://www.lastweekinaws.com/blog/why-zoom-chose-oracle-clo...
As long as Larry lives and breathes, Oracle gonna Oracle.

Me too, but they recently let me down with their managed Redis . They clearly mention that their offering has daily backups, but it actually doesn't (had to contact support to find out, though). Had to migrate away from them because of that.
