You don't need to explain the terminology of IXes, peering, and transit to me

Are we talking about eyeballs or content ISPs?

IIRC for peering they require the upload:download ratio to be close to 1.

Also, it makes sense to charge a content customer for upload only since they barely download.

But do they also charge eyeballs for upload?
