IP transit costs something like $350-$700/mo for a Gbit. Amazon are certainly getting better rates, so even with equipment costs I doubt they're spending much more than $0.005/GiB. Their pricing starts at $0.15/GiB. (Not to single out AWS, the other big providers are much the same.)

I'm below $100/1Gbps 95% with more than one provider as a small player

  • That's sounds like a great deal: you're paying less than half of Hurricane's advertised minimum price. And I had understood HE were a mid/low price carrier.

    Can I ask, are you in a data center? US or Europe?

    • What do you mean? Hurricane's current special is $90/1Gbit/m.

      US.

      Some of the larger bandwidth transit resellers like FDC will do Cogent for $0.02/Mbps. They have a marketing site at epyc100gig.net (not an affiliate or employee; just a FDC customer).
