For example, cloudfront has "50 GB Data Transfer Out, 2,000,000 HTTP
and HTTPS Requests", for free for a year.

https://aws.amazon.com/free/

I sincerely doubt www.bufferbloat.net would do more than that.

I haven't looked into other CDNs and haven't the foggiest idea how to
set one up in the first place.

Presently I have going out $150/mo in linodes (mostly flent servers, 2
being used for web pages), $250/mo in the google cloud for openwrt's
build bot, probably $500/mo for lede's build bot...

and $190/mo coming in. I do hope to find more funding for lede's
stuff... (or get out of it after they've been better bootstrapped)
