Thanks Richard.
Perhaps just to throw something on the wall; MTN have tons of
fibre in the city. Can't an arrangement be reached where some
kind of Metro-E service is provided to ISP's for the purpose of
100Mbps connectivity to the exchange point? Politics and all
that aside, all MTN need is an 802.1Q trunk to the exchange
point, and each ISP jumping onto their Metro-E somewhere in the
loop.
Failing that, don't Space Net lay fibre? Can they build a Metro-E
network specifically for this purpose, or build fibre for each
ISP to the exchange point (more costly).
Cheers,
Mark.
Good point but that's assuming that the connectivity to the IX is the
problem. I believe that's just part of the problem. We need to go back
to basics and re-convince 'management' that connectivity to the IX is
good for us. At the moment, it's proving really hard since we don't have
any stats to speak of despite the fact that the IX has been around or
awhile now. That's why we see things like routers being pulled from the
IX to be put to 'better' use elsewhere and links to the IX not being a
priority when they go down. Techies too need to realize the importance
and help keep routes and prefixes update .. which is not happening at
the moment. Once we get these going, then we can start looking at links
and capacity.
