You can do this yourself with a $50 router. You’d have to ask your neighbor about their usage to get comparative metrics, tho.

It’s not up to the ISPs. Netflix requires a minimum of 5 Gbps of traffic before an ISP qualifies for an appliance.

Wait, what?! What ever gave you the idea that there is a dearth of fiber in Europe or that there are only DCs in Ireland or the Netherlands?

You dropped a zero. There are 1000 MB in a GB, so your cost of running a Gbps line at full tilt is more like 3.6 cents per hour. In other words, bill everybody a dollar per month for bandwidth and worry about it only if average usage per su

The grandparent’s comment still stands. Upgrading backhaul is a fixed cost. There is no incremental cost for usage. Very much different than power generation.

You are pretty close on the numbers. Fixed network bandwidth is centicents per GB, and that’s for wholesale IP transit. Peering bandwidth can be cheaper at scale. For all intents and purposes fixed bandwidth is too cheap to meter on consume

Wireless mesh networks are all fun and games until you try to scale up. First you have to deal with the huge coordination issue of getting everybody in line and on line to actually form a mesh. Then if you actually succeed with that you hav

Yeah, if you have at least 5 Gbps of Netflix traffic on your network... No small or startup ISP is going to qualify for a Netflix appliance. Also to cut your Netflix bandwidth by 80+%, you need more than 6 Gbps of Netflix traffic, as Netfl

It is, even in Australia. Backhaul and transoceanic links have economies of scale. Last mile doesn't.

Actually Singapore and Australia aren't that terrible anymore. Hurricane Electric has POPs in both Singapore and Australia. Transport between Singapore and Australia is $1.50 or less. Peering ports are $0.20 per Mbps. If all you want t

$0.6/Mbps/month is a bit on the high side for IP transit at scale. You can buy IP transit for under 10 cents per Mbps at well connected datcenters. Additionally, any ISP with peering at an Internet exchange will have a lower blend
