none of which seem to have given their bandwidth figures.

    Their usage was finite.

    So if cloudflare’s offer is really unlimited and free, they haven’t exceeded it.

      "everyone knows" that unlimited basically anything has limits.

      I'd be shocked if CF actually allowed you to use a couple hundred PB/month for free. And that's still finite!!

        Right. But the answer to the question posed in the title - "Why is Cloudflare Pages' bandwidth unlimited?" - is that the bandwidth is not, in fact, unlimited.

        At the start of this thread, i_have_an_idea said "The reason it's free and with unlimited bandwidth is that it's not" I think they, you, and I all agree on that.

        What I don't understand is the other people in this thread, who seem to take cloudflare's marketing puffery at face value.
