It's not always so straightforward. You decrease your traffic costs, but you'll incur capex (servers, switches, connectivity) or operation costs (renting servers).
Additionally outside EU network contracts can be a hassle to sign because of market consolidation or outright oligopoly. So you'd need to commit capital to get bandwidth.
It's an interesting optimisation problem and sometimes you can route your traffic differently based on SNMP data, price per Mbps and route performance. The higher you pay, the better connectivity you get. But off-peak times you can route traffic via cheaper provider.
