Last I saw, AWS has way better peering agreements than DO. Lots of problems with terrible throughput and lots of dropped packets for various clients (in several cities in North America, not just overseas or in the middle of nowhere) that vanished instantly on switching to AWS (including overseas ones that were also having problems)
Unfortunately, this isn’t something that shows up on spec sheets when you’re choosing a service. :-/
Well where does it show up? This is the first I've heard of this. Any source?
