I hate comments like these because for how frustrating someone is saying they know so much more, you don't find any articles written by them, a cost breakdown (because no one wants to share how they do things) and/or no real data. Yes, from the ground up starting an ISP, the trenching, the datacenters & everything in-between cost monies, but relative to a company that has all of this in place and doesn't upgrade anything, it's a moot point. The reason why people complain about caps on anything (cellphone, land data or anything else) is that these companies are making _BILLIONS_ off of us & refuse to upgrade their core network because it's beyond 5 or 10 years old. Peering? Peering cost almost $0. I've had friends who had gigabit fiber brought in & they peered with people for next to nothing.
