"... it has almost no affect on the bandwidth." - looking at those numbers it's not the case at all, those numbers are really low to start with (as AWS isn't exactly the fastest) but obviously this would be much more noticeable at the higher end of the scale when we're talking about 100-200MB/s transfer rates, not to mention nearly doubling the latency!
