Not really sure why this is a big deal - IX bandwidth is very very cheap. It looks like seattleIX charges $7500 as a one off payment to add a 100gbit link: https://www.seattleix.net/pr20191218 https://www.seattleix.net/pr20191218).
- toast0 5y agoMostly, network connections aren't so public, so it's interesting in general. Also, upgrading their IX capacity may be a sign that their product is maturing or has significant use. As an upstart ISP, Starlink needs to seek out the connections to CDNs that their customers demand, and an IX connection is a good place to get them at substantially less cost than transit.
- ccakes 5y agoTransit is very cheap these days if you're buying 100G ports.. the economics of whether to peer or not aren't as clear cut as they once were.
- sbierwagen 5y ago>IX bandwidth is very very cheap I would describe it as "capacity", not bandwidth. That fee is just to physically plug into the router. You have to make separate agreements with the other organizations also plugged into that router for peering or paid transit.
