Bear in mind these are entirely different classes of products... it's not just about bandwidth.

The monitoring and SLAs alone are probably the most significant differentiators, with these kinds of services you would usually expect an engineer on site within 4 hours to fix problems, and service credits for anything breaching SLA.

I once accidentally snagged a single mode fibre pigtail while moving stuff in a rack. Everything back up after the provider engineers had re-spliced a new pigtail on in less than two hours.

And that's before you consider the dynamic routing side of things.

(And the 3 x /24's that AS54316 have are also not cheap these days, that would cost something like $30-40k these days).
