Hello, 

The price on data transfer depends on the location [1] and the network tiering [2].
I recommend using the price calculator [3] to get a better cost estimation and do not hesitate to contact support for any questions regarding your billing account [4].

It would be good to get some more information on this as the charged price seems to be 100x to 1000x the market rate.

Regards

Alexander

Well it says it right in the chart:

Network (Egress)
Worldwide Destinations
(excluding China & Australia,
but including Hong Kong)
(per GB in USD)

1-10 TB - $0.11

So figure 2,000 Gb (2 TB) would cost $220 to transfer out.

Yeah it's not cheap, but cloud computing isn't cheap, it's meant for serious business that is well funded...
