Thanks for everyone's input and feedback. I ended up having a call with Cologix to get a better understanding of AWS' product and how it works. I shared this with our customer and have not yet received a response.

Is that just the reality of it, or is there a broader product (other than direct peering with Amazon) that would improve AWS performance for all our customers?
Is your customer willing to cover costs for direct connect? In my experience, this is very performant (depending on link speed you choose). Are they pushing into S3, some API endpoint, custom app, over SSH or FTP or another protocol? From home (over the comcastic networkz) I can saturate my upload (~350Mbps) without issue, and lab environment (~500Mbps, Atomic Data) can also hit the peak. This is over SSH (into instances) or S3 endpoints. -- Mike Horwath, reachable via drechsau@Geeks.ORG
