Aren't you calculating bandwidth for a singly-connected node? A "highly connected" miner could have 30-100 node connections so you probably need to increase your traffic estimates by that factor.
I.e. For 100MB blocks, 30-100 Mbps and $60-$100 per day data costs. > You should be able to handle 20MB blocks no problem; if I round up to > 100MB per block that works out to 1.3Mbps. > > > We also use Aliyun and Linode cloud services for block > propagation.
