Neil, It's not that "some DC's are a problem", but rather (in my experience) that BTW does not offer any incentive for having one or both ends of a circuit be in a datacenter. There's no 'on-net' discount. Whereas, other carriers treat DC's as on-net, and there are no 'tail circuit' costs - just port costs.
Can BTW offer 10G waves between a Manchester DC and a London DC for less than 20k/year? Several of the competition can... Simon On Mon Jan 06, 2014 at 01:48:06PM +0000, Neil J.
