Amazon peers at many key exchanges, with dozens of hosting shops (where customers might share mutual infrastructure) like yours:

Rather than play the blame game with third-party transit providers, why not hit them up for some sessions?
That'll only get you peering connectivity into the local region. To get fully-peered with AWS, and be able to avoid third-party transit providers entirely, you're going to have to be in a *lot* of places.
Not saying that AWS is a bad peer (from experience, I know they're fine to deal with) but it isn't as cut-and-dried as saying "don't blame transit providers, just peer!".
just peer in IAD, SEA and SJC, and AMS, and SIN. problem solved, yup.
