I would rather pay 1/5th the price of Amazon for all the other days when I am not on Oprah though.
Our current CDN provides for 4k per month what amazon would charge 18k for.
Yes, that 4k is on a 12 month contract that we had to negotiate. We are paying for about 4 times the bandwidth per month that we are actually consuming at the moment, but it's just so much cheaper overall and the bandwidth we don't consume each month rolls over to the next. (We plan to consume it all one day!)
I firmly believe that the vast majority of AWS customers are paying for flexibility that they are not actually using 99% of the time.
