Rather than play the blame game with third-party transit providers,
why not hit them up for some sessions?

That'll only get you peering connectivity into the local region.  To get
fully-peered with AWS, and be able to avoid third-party transit providers
entirely, you're going to have to be in a *lot* of places.

Not saying that AWS is a bad peer (from experience, I know they're fine to
deal with) but it isn't as cut-and-dried as saying "don't blame transit
providers, just peer!".

just peer in IAD, SEA and SJC, and AMS, and SIN. problem solved, yup.
