Hi all, A client of mine has, for various complicated reasons, ended up with a 10Gb fiber provided by euNetworks from London to Amazon's Dublin data centre (terminating in Eircom Clonshaugh) for use with Amazon Direct Connect which may soon be surplus to requirements. They've asked me, on the off chance, if I can find someone to rent it off them. Does anyone know anyone who might be interested in taking it off their hands?
The line currently terminates at their office but they have the agreement of the hosting provider to move it to any other convenient location so it should be possible to get it moved to one of the London peering points. As well as reaching agreement about paying towards the line rental you'll also have to pay the Amazon Direct connect port cost (about £1000 a month - see https://aws.amazon.com/directconnect/pricing/) but you'll get a direct 10Gb connection into your Amazon VPC and no in/outbound bandwidth charges (for data on this pipe - you still have to pay for data leaving AWS going to the rest of the world). Buying it second hand will cost a lot less and be a lot more flexible than if you were to buy it "new". Any takers? Ben
