Last time I checked, Google and AWS both had very, very high egress prices. At these levels, it's far cheaper to connect to a Tier 1 provider or three.

Did you check what their price was at the $2B purchase volume?

Nope. OTOH, $2B is large enough that the Tier 1 transit rates are probably quite good, too.
