AWS price reduction for data transfers out to the internet

My suspicion is that not even Netflix gets the egress out of AWS at commodity market rate. The vast majority of traffic will be handled by their own CDN

Netflix doesn't pay anything for egress of video because it doesn't serve any video from AWS.

As for everything else, AWS offers tiered pricing for everyone and it's the same for everyone. They just don't publish the tiers at that level, but yes, Netflix pays less than you probably do because they're in the higher tier -- but they pay the same as all the other companies at that tier.

Thanks! I had been curious about that for quite some time now.

Your link has no information about their egress pricing with AWS which is the only thing I was speculating about.
