Re: and 100% of this survey is stupid said by Tikker_LoS:the bandwidth that ISP's generally care about is the stuff clogging the big transit pipes between providers ...hence why most ISPs try to peer (vs. using transit) when possible. Of course, most consumer ISPs have very lopsided traffic patterns (lots of traffic in, relatively little traffic out) that scare away a lot of potential peering partners, and some have only regional networks which don't get anywhere near the major peering points, which leaves a lot of them stuck using transit for most sites.
