Right, but given that most of .ug's traffic is U.S.- and EU- bound, not sure it makes sense to have said traffic head south just to head back up north, i.e., (good) latency, where possible, may always be better than (high) bandwidth. Of course, this makes sense if .ug's primary transit paths failed, but controlling when the southern path is used is not easy, as this is mostly a function of networks that aren't your own, most of the time. Cheers, Mark.
