[AusNOG] Cloudflare claims Australian bandwidth costs SEVENTEEN times more than Europe thanks to Telstra & Optus...

[Joshua D'Alton]

Poor choice of words - "stop buying transit from them" ?  If everything
went via the US, who would be impacted? Gamers no, either already using
local peered servers, or via US anyway. Youtubers? Same, peered or USA.
Average joe? FB is peered, or not latency sensitive (twitter, twitch,
netflix)?

Businesses who need to talk to other businesses.. but they are all more or
less on the Go4 anyway, or utilise layer2/metro WAN.

The only people I can think impacted would be customers on Go4 who game on
a server whose provider buys transit from telstra (or someone else
wholesaling), where since Telstra don't peer.. it'd now be via the US.
