Think your IP VPN bills are too high?
Then don't move to Jakarta, Indonesia, home of one of the world's most
expensive 2 Mbit/s E-1 VPN port, priced at over $11,300 per month
according to TeleGeography Inc.

Yes, IP VPNs have become a staple within multinational corporations,
proving a secure tunnel into the company headquarters from remote
offices and locations around the world. But their popularity doesn't
make them a commodity.
Now, wanna hear something really sick? You can get the same VPN service
in Jakarta, via a different carrier, with the same bandwidth, for a mere
$1,347 a month. The difference in price has to do, of course, with where
the connection is headed.
“The foundation of price discrepancy has to do with bandwidth pricing in
and out of the country,” says Greg Bryan, pricing research analyst with
Telegeography. “If it’s a country that isn’t deregulated yet where
bandwidth is difficult to acquire, that adds to the cost.”
So the ports are the same and the technology is the same, but the price
of bandwidth coming in and out of the country is not. That’s why in
places such as Indonesia, you find such a wide range of prices -- the
most expensive ones are linking single locations within that area back
to a more competitive western market. The cheap ones are only linking
within Indonesia.
Compare that to IP VPNs in New York which consistently cost around
$1,000 a month whether they link in or out of the country. There is
ample bandwidth coming in and out of the city which makes proving an IP
VPN a relative cinch.
Another factor in pricing discrepancy is service level agreements
(SLAs). All enterprise customers want strong SLAs and providing service
guarantees between remote countries is expensive.
In New York or London, cities with widely developed infrastructure and
an abundance of carrier hotel facilities, a VPN that connects locations
within the city will likely cost the same as one that connects elsewhere
in the world. And that cost will be relatively cheap in the area of
$1,000 a month.
As to who is the offending $11,300 a month carrier, TeleGeography can't
say, due to a non-disclosure agreement. But it is very likely to be a
large North American or European carrier trying to come into that new
developing region of Jakarta. “They’re basically trying to pull more
margin into their network based on these more remote sites,” says Bryan.
