That is the part that we tried for a long time. We shared two IXs with google, and we asked google for BGP sessions over both IXs and was told over and over that we were too big for IX. That left us with only two options, all google over transit links or pay for cross connects between us and Google. It is worth noting that google requires dual PNI in all shared metros. They pay for the first cross connect and provide the IPs but the 2nd one is on you.
