That's with list price. I've helped with a migration larger than that, and was less than your 5mil number.

People forget that when you talk about customers spending 100+ mil/year they get heavy discounts on many of the SKUs.

You're right, AWS does heavily discount at this price point (as do other providers).

Egress fees on the order of 40-50% off list are possible in my experience.

It’s even greater than the 40-50% off his 5mil number if using dx links.

Dx list with 100 PiB is 2 million. Add in discounts and you’re at much less than 1 mil total
