Hello deadmau,
“but i can have another direct connection from a different location like san jose?”
Yes, it is possible. From a customer perspective, you can achieve this by extending your last-mile connectivity into the Direct Connect location (that is associated with your preferred Region) itself. With this approach, you/your company will shoulder all costs associated with establishing a physical connection between your equipment and AWS equipment. However, there is an easier way of connecting to a Direct Connect Location. And that is through the help of an AWS Partner network. These partner networks usually have already the infrastructure in place which offers a much wider coverage (ex telco companies). You can think of them as proxies that can let you connect to a Direct Connect Location.
Let me know if this helps.
