The AWS network performance varies considerably its all over the place.
My Cloudfront traffic ended up going through Perth on an Iprimus / Vocus 
connection a few weeks ago Traffic on TPG in Perth goes all the way to 
Sydney when using Cloudfront.
Its dirt cheap for everything though or free even so you can't complain 
too much.
Given the type of connection we are talking about though and if you are 
planning on storing huge amounts of data or transferring huge files I 
would suggest going for AWS Direct Connect Vocus also offer this as a 
service, though they call it Cloud Connect as they offer direct 
connectivity to a number of providers.
This might also be more cost effective then using the public internet.
