From personal experience - AWS is slow. The latencies are far below industry average in our testing.

Thanks for your feedback. I like the whole idea of AWS but I found their pricing model mis-leading as their products were laden with text heavy pages that were not clear cut.

It was only through actually setting up a reserved instance and seeing I was still being charged every day did I realise that the reserved instances still carried an extra cost.

Thanks for your feedback
