Pricing Comparisons - Anycast Providers

We sent an email to representatives from all the Anycast DNS Providers listed on this website, requesting pricing information for three different quotes. Only two of those providers gave us the requested information - Dynect and DNS Made Easy.
UltraDNS says they are in the process of restructuring their pricing, but declined to provide more information than that. Thus, we took all of their pricing information from their website (as of 24 February, 2010), adding additional queries and domains to the prices as necessary to meet the requirements for the listed quotes.
Netriplex declined to participate, so all information is taken from their website.
Route 53 pricing information is included for all three quotes taken from a pricing calculator on their website available here.
Afilias was able to provide information for Quote 2 and Quote 3, but are not included in the other graphs.
easyDNS Coming Soon.
No other providers decided to participate in our pricing comparison, so what little information we have about them can be found here.


Dynect is not included in this quote because they don't have set pricing for users this small, however they can create custom plans to accomodate these users. (Source)
