<div dir="ltr"><div>It's about economies of scale, rather than cheaper prices. Once upon a time, service providers had empty data centres they needed to fill, amortissation and leasing costs, and were happy to lease at a discount.

<p class="MsoNormal">Have I missed something, what’s hiking the price, IPs? Transit? I can’t imagine as time goes on transit will get more expensive, unless I am being naïve.
