Larry says that he hosts bkbits.net on a T1 which is shared with (probably) the IP traffic of bitkeeper.com and his VoIP.
A fully loaded T1 can carry about 1/2 a TB per month traffic. This costs you at most (AT MOST!) about 350 Euros per month (e.g. www.odn.de) for a 2,3 Mbit SDSL line, which carries even 1,5 times the traffic of a T1).
Rack housing with a moderate traffic volume (e.g. enough for most service needs) cost you between 29 Euros for a dedicated server with 60 Gigs (www.hetzner.de) to 25,90 euros for a shared hosting with a gig of disc space and unlimited traffic (www.hosteurope.de, Hostnet product).
All of the cited ISPs claim to have multi-GB uplinks to the various german an international peering points. I wouldn't consider that a "garden hose".
Larry claimed a $15k bill for his T1. This is about 1200$ per months. You can get three flat 2.3 MBit SDSL lines for that. Or a dedicated server with about a TB of traffic in a housing center.
Regards Henning
