Subscribers to one or more of our pricing modules might like a quick update on the new data and analysis we've added over the past few months.
Here's a sample of the latest from the pricing team.
Wavelengths
- New prices to peruse. The end of the year is always our big push for wavelength pricing. And our Q4 2020 and Q1 2021 updates brought a wealth of new prices to the database.
The pace of price erosion moderated in many markets over the past year, but prices continued to decline overall. Between year-end 2017 and 2020—across key global routes—weighted median 100 Gbps wavelength prices decreased an average of 16% compounded annually. Compare this to 6% between 2019 and 2020.
- A deeper dive. Interested in how varying levels of market maturity, geopolitical challenges, and COVID-19-related supply chain issues impacted routes? We took a virtual world tour in our annual PTC workshop. Our team also reviewed the dynamic bandwidth market in Oceania in our February Bandwidth Pricing Report and explored Middle East transport price trends in April.
IP Transit
- More data to love. With the Q4 2020 and Q1 2021 IP transit updates, we’ve added a ton of new data across all the regions we track. Between Q1 2018 and Q1 2021, 10 GigE port prices in key global cities decreased an average of 26% compounded annually.
- Regional spotlights. Head over to the Reports & Presentations tab in your account to review our PTC workshop slides, which include a review of last year's IP transit pricing trends by region.
Business Broadband
- New plans in new places. Q4 2020 brought the annual refresh of our Business Broadband Pricing Data. This year we collected broadband plans, pricing, and features from more than 170 countries. That’s over 7,000 unique business broadband plans with bandwidth ranging from 1 Mbps to 10 Gbps for your reference.
