Ok EU, if you know anything about the EU market you would be well aware that EU carriers peer with each other. Peering = Free most of the time between carriers because they treat it like one big giant network. Now the problem is going back across the US where certian companies might have great peering inside EU but only a couple gbps to various tier1 providers that go back across to the US. There are a few good EU companies that do hosting/colocation within EU with good prices cheap too but they do suffer US bound. Ovh.com in particular comes to mind. Which you can see on ovh.net peering and some transit with global crossing which can be sub 10/Mbps as well. teleglobe is great but a little more.
But just an example say your still limited to 2 real transit carriers the rest is peering. People who pay more for Mbps get more tier1 carriers than said other company with fewer.
