As mentioned before, Europe is about the same as US.
With these US street prices in mind, how can anyone justify paying
prices of some commercial exchanges (the last offer I got from PAIX Palo
Alto was USD 5500 per month for a FE port about a year ago, and Equinix
Ashburn was not much cheaper). Please note: I'm not talking of the
technical advantages of peering.
