As a data company we really benefit from Scaleway, Hetzner and Ovh.
However, Scale way has no plans to add an US infra
And I don't know if Hetzner has US présence?

- raid2000 3y agoEuropean providers benefit from lower cross-connect fees in datacenters and more internet exchanges for easy peering. It's not surprising they offer more bandwidth at the same cost.

- raid2000 3y agoYou still have to pay for cross-connects to connect to exchanges in datacenters. > In North America, the median cross-connect price is $300, more than five times higher than $58, which is the median price in Europe.[1] Of course, that difference means nothing to a hyperscaler, but it's led to a difference in pricing culture between the smaller providers. 1: https://www.fiercetelecom.com/telecom/study-u-s-fiber-cross-connect-pricing-higher-than-europe https://www.fiercetelecom.com/telecom/study-u-s-fiber-cross-...
