Datapoint: When $company hit very high six figures (closing in on seven) in monthly spend I found AWS was incredibly willing to cut our egress rates, often by a significant amount.
This was explained by our account team: bandwidth has some of the best margins for AWS but they’re willing to sacrifice that for their enterprise customers (read: suck us in closer to non-commodity services)
