You have to well differentiate here if you get shared traffic or dedicated one. In othe rwords if you pay 109€ for 1GBit you are unlikely able  fill that gigabit 95% of the time. And the forth offer is for transferred traffic not speed.

In international wholesale, prices per megabit range from 1€ - 50€ depending on location. Those are dedicated backbone prices so for a fully dedicated 1Gbps, you should expect a minimum of 1000€. Otherwise you simply get overbooked connectivity
