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).

      OK, either I'm getting pretty screwed somewhere or EU prices are well above the US. Probably the former. Thanks for the pointer. https://he.net/cgi-bin/ip_transit_quote https://he.net/cgi-bin/ip_transit_quote is where I'm seeing the $200 number.

        On front page https://www.he.net/ https://www.he.net/ there's a special in the top right :) I believe that kind of low-for-1G-commit pricing is for their fully owned FMT1/FMT2 US CA facility. You have a lot easier peering in EU (AMSIX, DECIX, etc) that will help compared to the US's love of commercial exchanges like Any2/Coresite/Equinix where peering costs practically more than transit.
