While I appreciate being thrifty, managing these good-will trades can be challenging. The person who you collaborated with may be gone, there may be no formal way to file complaint or escalate, so you may find MTTR times being very high or even need to come up with entirely new solution at arbitrary time. I would definitely optimise for having real contract and circuit # from provider who has normal product. Your situation may differ, but in my situation MRC is dominated by fibre leases and electricity, and IP-OOB WAN cost is immaterial. -- ++ytti
