You can have a 100Gb uplink on a dedicated fibre for less than 1000$/month now. Which is insanely less than cloud bandwidth. Of course there are tons of other costs, but that alone can suffice to justify moving out of the cloud for bandwidth intensive app.

Yea, I call BS on 100Gb uplink for $1000. I have racked a lot of servers at different data centers. No way.

I am in Switzerland where you have 25Gbit/s for about 70$/month so I understand that this might be an exception. But even if it is 10 000$/month, it is still widely cheaper than cloud bandwidth.

Business pricelist as PDF: https://www.init7.net/de/angebot/business-internet/business_...

It's interesting as it seperately lists price for 24x7 support.

CHF 111 ≈ $129

If you don't mind me asking, to where? That is, what uplink do you see to your nearest AWS or gcloud? In the US, advertised residential speeds don't nessarly translate to realized gains. Just pushes the bottle neck to the ISP.

Agreed that either way it is way cheaper than cloud bandwidth.
