Actually to be specific, GTT is a “Tier1” provider since they acquired TiNet. So usually a “blend of several networks” refers to a Tier2 provider .. GTT has *many* direct peers of significant size :)
Long time customer of the various companies that came part of the GTT “umbrella” – overall pretty happy although I’ve heard second hand about lots of “reorganization” problems .. haven’t seen much of it first hand though. 100 Gig very common now in most areas.. maybe there were the first to deploy in Saudi or something… From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] On Behalf Of Justin Wilson - MTIN Sent: Thursday, July 9, 2015 9:16 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Anyone heard of GTT We use them in Chicago. They provide a BGP blend of several networks. They are an international provider. One of their direct peers is China Telecom. I saw a press release they are doing 100 Gig in Saudi Arabia. If you want to know about our experiences with them (pretty good for the most part) hit me offlist.
