I do have customers that utilize my extension switches to other IXes so that they can connect to Amazon directly in other regions. Unfortunately I have a west coast option, and you are looking for an east coast option. From: Frank Bulk <fbulk@mypremieronline.com> Sent: Friday, April 25, 2025 3:53 PM To: mice-discuss@lists.micemn.net Subject: Non-MICE/perhaps dumb question I've been reviewing some of AWS's connectivity products, but it seems like none of them are designed to improve the AWS experience for all of an ISP's customers across AWS's various regions. The background here is that we have a business customer using a key application hosted in AWS's East Coast region. The applications' document upload performance has been less than ideal, and their external consultant is blaming their ISP - us. As you know, once traffic leaves our network and hits upstream providers, our influence on the experience is very limited. My initial thought was to explore whether we could bring AWS closer to all of our customers through some kind of direct peering or other arrangement with AWS. However, from what I'm seeing, AWS's connectivity options are mostly targeted at connecting a single enterprise to AWS, not enhancing general public access to AWS services. 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?
