And that's worth quite a lot, given Amazon's bandwidth is expensive. The 2tb in the Linode $10 account will run you about $200 with Amazon. Doubtful anyone is burning 2tb on a $10 account, and I'm sure Linode has that in mind, but even if you're using 200gb of bandwidth that would still cost you over $20.

Pricing plans for Amazon also include the best security and interconnects bar none, fastest access to the wide array of AWS and AWS hosted services and an ecosystem of tools and apps.

And of course Amazon has transparent disclosure for outages and security issues unlike say Linode.

don't forget that the network transfer from an aws server may be slower than from a linode/DO as well. Any benchmarks out there?
