AWS starts at $0.15/GB, so $30. It's an unbelievable ripoff, particularly given if AWS is peered with your destination they are actually paying $0.

- partiallypro 8y agoAzure is $0.08/GB, which still seems high
- koolba 8y agoIn what region? I see $0.09/GB as the starting price for the first 1 TB. Granted it’s still way overpriced but it’d be $18, not $30.
- skunkworker 8y agoFor one of my products this is single handedly 50% of our costs on AWS.
- ucaetano 8y ago> they are actually paying $0 Nope, they have to pay transport to the peering point (or own it).
- adrr 8y agoHow much is a 10 gigabit peer connection? I know you can buy 1 Gb connections for $500/m at some datacenters.
- sitepodmatt 8y agoPlus the rack at one of the supported colo neutral of the peering exchange say $800mo usually an equinix or telehouss,plus the cross connect $300mo, plus redudant protected circuits to your data center from the incumbents, plus juniper/Cisco/arista 100gb gear, HA/failover double the prior, plus your onsite hands or remote hands, plus the SFPs and sparwa, plus insurance plus all sorts of shit just for a NAP - presuming you don't have one already at said location. There a lot more to costs than pricelist for LINx, or Deix or whatever advertise. this a great announcement from cloudflare
- patrickg_zill 8y agoIf you don't have a rack full of equipment you don't need to pay for a full rack. How much bandwidth can a single 10gb port handle? Literally 10000 times 200gb in a month.
- toomuchtodo 8y agoI have a dedicated server with a colo provider that has its own 10GB connection. Most definitely don't need a full rack of gear.
- sitepodmatt 8y agoDo Telehouse / Equinix facilities do half racks nowadays at their NAP orientated facilities? I'm sure they do at their subrate places but not as many choices (rephrased s/subrate/acquired: ones they've acquired over the years, but they're poor for connectivity)
- ucaetano 8y agoI'm not talking about peering, or transit. I'm talking about transport.
- manigandham 8y agoThey already own it with their global network, and their customers already pay for the infrastructure and capacity. The per-use bandwidth costs are pure profit.
