> I'm not saying CF is bad, but, their sales tactics are shady
Sounds like your company had unreasonable expectations, their business plan [1] doesn't mention anywhere they provide unlimited bandwidth, what they do say is who their Business plan is for, which should've set expectations:
> For small ecommerce websites and businesses requiring advanced security and performance, PCI compliance, and prioritized email support.
i.e. it's unreasonable to assume 200-300TB /month can be classified as a small ecommerce website and that your company should've been more diligent in verifying what the expected cost should be for their high bandwidth requirements than just assuming cloud hosting companies should bear the loss of their excessive resource usage in a fixed rate plan.
But I do think Cloudflare should clarify the free bandwidth their plans include to better clarify the suitability of their plans.
