That is rather the point: all you get is a full transit service, and the false equivalence is palpable.
I'm very much reminded of the equally fictitious comparisons made between EC2 and Hetzner, or racking up white-box servers.

That is not something I would personally recommend bragging about on this forum, especially when it leads to sleepwalking into accepting a snake-oil salesman's contrived misrepresentations.

False equivalence how? AWS's offering isn't better, it's just expensive.

1. What a rude way to interpret what I said. I don't have a preference between different options to deliver data that all work fine. I'm interested to know what happens, but it doesn't affect my purchasing.
2. Nothing you've said backs up the idea of this being "snake oil". They're not making any promises about amazing products that can't be delivered. They're just asking for a price change on an existing product. That doesn't even resemble snake oil.
This pig-headed insistence on comparing things that are not alike, and then complaining when called out for disregarding the details, doesn’t warrant further comment.
You haven't named a single difference. You insist on vaguely insulting me and ignoring me when I ask why they should be treated differently.
They're both delivering packets from a datacenter in a specific spot to anywhere on the planet. They're charged based on different metrics, but it's easy to make a rough translation between those metrics.
I ask if the numbers are wrong, you insult me.
I ask why it's a false equivalence, you insult me.
And you think I'm the one not contributing to this conversation?
