If you're asking if one can get a provider's router to handle the outside physical part of a DC connection... As an ISP service so you don't need your own router hardware...

I was going to check all the other Direct Connect providers but client ran out of $$. If anyone does do that, I would like to know and pass it along to ex client for their information.
