Summary

The Bandwidth Alliance is a group of cloud providers that have agreed to reduce data transfer fees for mutual customers. To make this possible, three key factors were needed: an ecosystem of like-minded companies, a large global network (such as Cloudflare's 150+ points of presence worldwide), and Argo, a sophisticated traffic routing engine. Argo optimizes connections for minimum latency by examining subnet-to-subnet timing data and determining the fastest paths. The Bandwidth Alliance aims to provide low latency, highly available transit across networks at little to no cost, potentially saving customers more than $50 million per year in cloud bandwidth fees.
