Nice find. What is the ping time from India to Iran? That is a long trip for a packet.
I was going to ask the same thing, what's up with that. Why is there no continuous connextion?
A long standing complaint of mine is that Cloud egress pricing severely limits the usefulness of compute. If I want to say process some visual effects on a large (1TB) ProRes video, I might spend $1 on the compute but $100 on the egress getting it back. Unfortunately these changes don't really resolve that problem. "Standard" pricing is a paltry 20% less. That 1TB video egress still costs $80 and for that price I can…

Are they exclusive owner/builders of any of those? I know I've seen a number of cables which Google was a part investor/owner in, but sole ownership would be amazing.
A "cable" is actually comprised of many dedicated fibers, that could each one transfer some Tb/s and be leased for millions. I doubt that anyone would keep ALL of them for themselves.

I wonder what that same 1 TB of data costs on the "open market" (or how it is even priced). Say I'm a smallish ISP on the east coast and want to send 1 TB to another smallish ISP on the west coast. I probably have a contract with, I don't know, AT&T or whoever owns the cables (I'm from Europe so I have no clue, in Germany it would be Telekom). I'm guessing it would probably cost cents (and that would bring my data ac…
You don't buy bytes, you buy pipes. Typically, you buy say 1Gbit of transit and you can put as much or as little data through that pipe as you want. You can get a gigabit pipe from Hurricane Electric or FDCServers for $400/month. In a month it can take 327TB of data, so the cost of 1TB is ~$1.20.

What is egress in this context? What is ProRes? Just curious
Egress and ingress are outgoing and incoming data, respectively.

This does not include standard AWS egress pricing, which is something like $92/TB.
Right, and it doesn't include standard GCE egress pricing, which is something like $120/TB. https://cloud.google.com/storage/pricing

Are you aware of anything else that does this? I'm an individual so nothing with "Contact Sales" is useful to me.
I didn't say to Contact Sales, I said to contact me :). Remote desktop with super accurate color instead of lots of dithering and compression is tricky. Are you on Windows or Linux?
The software I need (mostly Davinci Resolve) runs on all major platforms, including Linux, so I can be on whatever I need to be.

Curious - at what POP have you been quoted $400/month for a gigabit connection from HE?
Other datacenters can go cheaper if you need less rackspace and power, bandwidth is cheap!
