My 24p servers:
sv_minrate 30000
sv_minupdaterate 20
sv_maxrate 80000
sv_maxupdaterate 66
replays disabled
I picked the min[update]rates based on settings I think are sensible and
reasonable for my (Australian) player base.
Average around 160kB/s when full.
Min bandwidth 80kbps, max ~500kbps.
160kB/s x 3600 seconds/hour x 12 hours/day x 30 days/month
= 200GB/mo/server
Full 15 hours/day =~ 260GB/mo.
In practice for 2 servers which are on average full about 12-15
hours/day they use combined 550GB/month.
I tend to budget 350GB/mo per 24p server because I don't want to go
over, and I don't want to waste time fiddling with rate limits for the
sake of a few $/mo.
Despite earlier assertions regarding gameME it's not a significant
contributor. Logging barely uses 500MB/month if that. All gameME does
is use the UDP logger to export your log files (so you can look at your
log file size for a rough idea), and then uses a bunch of RCON commands
to do its announcements. Even if you assumed gameME put an announcement
for every single log line you might xfer double your log data size. All
up, less than 1% vs your player traffic.

I don't think replays are enabled by default, are they? I figure the
most accurate representation should be that of the default settings.
It's like saying I could suck up 20 TB of bandwidth running a custom
maps server with tons of maps. Of course users will have to account for
extra bandwidth they intend to use.

That is probably true if you don't plan to enable replays via FTP -
but I run 21 servers with replay, and routinely see 12-14TB's of
bandwidth usage per month.

When did anyone mention ten servers? We’re only talking about
one here.
Even so, you most certainly don’t need 5-10 TB for ten 32-player
servers. I work with someone who is running 4 32-slot servers
(with fairly high rates), and only uses ~705 GB monthly. So
you’ll need about 2 TB per 10 servers.

5-10TB needed (you need 10 if your servers are filling you will
be pushing roughly 189GB a day per each 10 32 person servers)
