There was once cs professor who claimed that the internet does not scale around 2000. Either things choke up or you need huge investments into networks.
It turns out that he was right, sort of. The vanilla attach server into the internet, server-to-client IP-network is pretty much dead. It has been replaced with CDN's , private delivery networks, cache on top of cache. Cloudfare, Amazon, Google and MS are the connection points for the IP. Their internal network infrastructure transfer most of the data.
