No, you are correct. AWS charges inexplicably ridiculous prices for bandwidth. By my calculations, the last time their bandwidth rates were market-competitive was in 2007.

Market rate is actually below $0.01/GB even, but I'm very comfortable paying that rate for a multi-homed connection to a managed service.

You should try buying bandwidth somewhere that is not the US :-) or possibly central Europe.

Not to say they don't also charge that for bandwidth in those locations, but per-GB pricing in Australia is more like 20-50c/GB
