Yes. Data transfer-out via connections at Eircom is $0.02 per GB Data transfer-out via Sovereign House or Equinix LD5 connections is $0.03 per GB Port-hour charges at all 3 locations are the same. >On 14/06/16 22:05, Stephen Wilcox wrote: >> So, unless I'm mistaken, its the same price to terminate AWS Direct Connect >> in >> London as it is in Dublin, so this may be a tricky one to sell as is as >> there's >> no added value in buying the link LON-DUB to AWS.....

Yes, the AWS Port is charged hourly so a customer can just delete the connection at any time and get the circuit moved to be used for another service if the provider is happy to do it. Equally, if it’s taken over by another AWS customer, they should really request a new connection, get the LOA and get the circuit/cross-connect moved to that new port. FYI, customers often take connections to multiple Direct Connect locations for resilience and before we added a location at Equinix, the only other location in addition to Sov for the Ireland AWS region was via the Eircom PoP.
