How many of these VPS providers are actually managing global highly availabile network infrastructure?

I would have presumed that the infrastructure cost for each service was included in the cost for each service.

For egress bandwidth costs, I'd assume it included, well, the egress bandwidth cost.

I guess there aren't that many global network providers - I'm not even sure how much fiber Amazon owns in Japan, Australia or Northern Europe for that matter.

But I think level3 is associated with:

And while they have a call-us price list (if you have to ask...) - they at least state:

"Public and Private high-capacity networking options up to 10Gbps. Note: there is no charge for internal data center traffic. Cost on a per-GB-out model"

I have no idea what they charge pr gb for this cloud product however.

When you do outbound networking, you're sending it out to the internet, not mangling it within AWS's network
