Megaport vs direct peering - what a difference 18 months made for our office in Phoenix

15ms to AWS in Phoenix sounds like you were routing through a carrier pigeon with a bad connection. 2ms is more like it, anything above that and you might as well be using smoke signals.

Watching that tally grow must put things in perspective about how much we overcomplicate things. Making me want to start my own count just to see what happens.
