how much money does internet traffic cost?

how much cheaper is local traffic from the ISP versus traffic coming from a server 1500km away?

how much money does it cost to send internet traffic to varying distances.

there's no problem with the argument, but "much, much cheaper" doesn't mean anything in an industry where every byte can be measured and tracked.

we're not asking how much does Shaw feel like billing us today, we're asking how much does 1 Mb of data cost them to send over distance.
