2 cents per gig is still way too high. Average user is worth a tenth of a cent so just to break even you'd need to serve 20 users with 1 gig data. Not happening.
If you want the best price, you don't use a CDN. You get servers with 10gbps network cards and unlimited bandwidth. Costs 1500-2000 a month. Even if you're only averaging 100MBps you're still saving more than 50% compared to a .02/GB CDN.
