CVC pricing is still insane
CVC pricing should be in 8 to 20 cents per megabit, not 8 to 20 dollars.
Every peering point in the world is in the cents per megabit range, and the NBN CVCs are simply locally backhauled peering exchanges. Australia IX charges 4.5 cents per megabit of peering and $3 / megabit for intercity peering fabric that cover major cities on the continent.
