Hi, So, unless I'm mistaken, its the same price to terminate AWS Direct Connect in London as it is in Dublin, so this may be a tricky one to sell as is as there's no added value in buying the link LON-DUB to AWS..... But the AWS port shouldn't be contracted, I think they should be able to move it off AWS....
