Very little disk space because of only small images and javascripts.
I can't tell you the exact monthly bandwidth used because they deleted the account with all the stats without giving any notice
It is quite small, relatively speaking. The last email I sent to their sales guy said this:
I can't access the SimpleCDN web site (maybe they blocked my IP, LOL), but if you look at their web site and get the B/W limit for the lowest priced Hotcache service, which was $150 USD per month, we were using roughly 1 percent of that B/W ceiling.
When our "Mirror Bucket" service did not work as sold to us, they wanted us to shift to the $150 per month "Hotcache" service, but we only used 1 percent of the B/W ceiling of that service, which did not make sense. So when our "Hotcache" trail period was over, I wanted to switch us back to the agreed upon "Mirror Bucket" service, asking the question:
That was the second to last email I sent to them before my final complaint that seemingly resulted in our unannounced account deletion and subsequent forum outage.

Update:
Yes, SimpleCDN has blocked my IP address, LOL. I can get to their site if I use a proxy server.
I guess they did not like my blog post.
Also, I note that they do not list the $150 a month "Hotcache" service, only a $500 service, so I guess that was their "bait-and-switch" strategy as I thought. They offer a cheap service like their "Mirror Bucket" service (the "bait"), and then hope to sell you a more expensive service (the "switch").
Funny they blocked my IP, LOL.

I greatly appreciate the [Hotcache] trial, but I guess I will move back to our origin server or maybe serve content from our mirror bucket again, if the performance is better. Which leads to the question, will our EU mirror bucket content be served from the EU now?
