We use Direct Connect to get traffic to edge nodes where we buy fixed 10Gbps links and pay a fraction of the AWS cost. AWS bandwidth costs are ridiculous.

  Direct connect still charges per GB out. The cheapest listed location is $0.02/Gb.

    Still cheaper than normal outbound data transfer rates though!

    Yes I said it’s a fraction of the cost. One fifth.

  I'm not familiar with Direct Connect. Does it work out as AWS giving reduced bandwidth fees for certain providers?

    It’s a private link to an external provider and you pay much less for transit to that provider.
