To my knowledge direct connect is a fixed cost, as is running your own dedicated infrastructure, so you don't pay for bandwidth.
I just pulled the DirectConnect prices from the AWS API, and I think there is still a per/GB charge. Here's a description of a random direct connect point in Amsterdam (Equinix AM3).

If I'm reading the description correctly, egress from there is 2 cents/GB, while the regular price for egress (less than 10 TB) from eu-south-1 is 9 cents/GB.
That's Milan to Amsterdam though. Aren't there some mechanisms to have a handoff as close to Milan as possible?
I was pretty sure there was a way to have something that's just a fixed cost, maybe with a partner third party service.
Yeah, you're right. A direct connect in Milan at Equinix ML2 is $2.48/port-hour.
