transit pricing can still be had readily for ~.10 cents per megabit. that's per second mind you. so you pay for capacity not for bits transferred. {$cloudprovider} makes a sweet margin by upselling that to you in terms of bytes transferred. CF wrote a post explaining it [1]
Obviously, you would need to manage servers,colo,network and keep it up on your own, or pay for it. And cloud providers offer alot of value as well. but if you are at the right scale you can diy it (in-house ops/network team) you can save ALOT of money.
