I’d speculate CFs secret sauce here is working their asses off to negotiate peering arrangements globally, and avoiding paying transit. Then passing on the savings.
- jamesbr 5y agoCloud providers simply charge insane markups on very cheap bandwidth. You or I can buy transit from e.g. he.net for ~$0.15/mbit/mo. 10Gbit transit @ $1500/mo will transfer 3PB/mo. 3PB egress on AWS = $157,491.11/mo.
- iptrans 5y ago100G transit is even cheaper at $5k/month. And that’s before you take into account you can do settlement free peering at Internet exchanges.
