For you my friend, we have the `t4g.nano`. Not only is the `t4g.nano` the least expensive option out of all instance
types, it also has the highest Gbps/dollar ratio of all the options under $10! The `t4g.nano` supports a burst
bandwidth of up to 5Gbps and a sustained bandwidth of 3.2Mbps for $3.06/month.

If you're looking for an option that's a little more expensive but has a higher sustained bandwidth, the `t3.micro` is

As you can see, 6Gbps and 12.5Gbps are simply not economical options when compared to the best 5Gbps and 25Gbps
options. So you're effectively looking at jumping straight from 5Gbps to 25Gbps if you need higher sustained
