Assume for a moment you sell a customer a port in Newark, NYC, and London.

Clearly, a bit from nyc to newark should be priced differently than one
from nyc to london.

Agreed?

Yes... Based on the current market, the circuit from NYC to Newark is
going to be way more expensive than a larger circuit from NYC to London.
