Peering first. Join an IX or get direct peers.

Just in the process of dropping them from our mix … however …. they have always been solid provider with very little issues. How they get utilized in the network and participate in your overall mix is always a challenge .. I much prefer to avoid Tier1 providers in general to be honest - prefer Tier2 in comparison. They don’t “play well” in our mix of providers hence why we are dropping them. The only area of failure is calling them to say we won’t be renewing followed by “ok, no problem - thank you” …. usually this turns into heavy sales tactics to keep you onboard - they didn’t seem to care….
