Ok,
So if I understand you place a router to colo in IX for your ip
space,correct?
What about capacity into your network? If you still only have access to
1Gig pipes.
Also, What is transport going to cost to increase those pipes to 10G so
that you will have that added capacity into your network?
I cant get any transport lower than 8K in my area.

Do you have a connection to the closest internet exchange? Usually
it's cheaper to get a 10G pipe to the exchange and pick up free
bandwidth from Netflix/Google/Akamai/etc rather then upgrade your
upstream pipes. Plus once you're at the IX with a router/switch you
could easily pick up an inexpensive upstream carrier there rather than
paying for multiple big pipes back to your area. This is what we do.
Saves a lot.

I currently have two 1g upstreams and quickly running out of
capacity, how have you guys handled this in the past for those that
have been through this? Do you upgrade one pipe and hope it doesn't
go down? Upgrade them both to the same speed ?
Also for these two providers its super expensive for a 10g port even
with 1g bandwidth, looks like I'll have to get multiple 1g pipes
before it makes since to go with a single 10g port, how have you done
this? Just multiple bgp sessions?
I don't understand the logic of charging so much more for a 10g
interface when it's lighting the same glass?
