I've always found their bandwidth to be by far the most financially obnoxious aspect. $1,200 for just 10tb of bandwidth. You can get far more than that standard with any number of tremendous dedicated hosts on a $150 box. Digital Ocean charges a mere $0.02 for overages, by comparison.

I don't mind paying a premium for the easy systems and integration capabilities that AWS makes possible, but paying such extreme rates for bandwidth (when Amazon no doubt pays next to nothing per gb of bandwidth), is a cost too far.
