This statement is false. It most certainly is more expensive to send packets to places like Australia than to Europe (Australia has 20x higher transit pricing). You could claim the cost is pennies either way however that doesn't address the fact that some packets are more expensive than others.

- tinus_hn 9y agoThe cost for transferring these 10 gigabytes to Australia is about $0.04, while a closer destination would be cheaper. So while technically you are right, realistically these costs don’t factor in the price.
