Sorta, kinda. The various ASs operated by Zayo are more interconnected than that description would imply. The traditional mode of operation on an "acquired AS" has been to turn down any upstream transit as quickly as contractually possible and upgrade NNI capacity between that AS and 6461 to com

It is worth noting, however, that the former AllStream ASN (formerly AT&T Canada) AS15290 is a completely different thing, and has distinct infrastructure and routing from the AboveNet ASN which is operated by Zayo. Although they are probably using "Free" Zayo transport by now. If I am grossly wro

OK, Maybe I was a bit overly dramatic. One of the big 3 peered with us in a US location, but refused to peer in Canada. I can't recall if we actually did specifically ask Rogers at one point or not. I know we haven't asked recently. At 08:41 PM 08/08/2017, Bill Woodcock wrote: > On Aug

With the peering policies of the major Canadian ISPs, you're virtually guaranteed to hairpin through the US on most paths. Robellus (Rogers, Bell & Telus) will peer with you at any of their major Canadian peering points, such as NYC, Chicago or LA. At 10:01 AM 20/07/2017, Hiers, David wr
