Well there is no question that 10G ports and LAG’s of 10G are more popular but the number of 100G ports being sold for IP Transit is definitely picking up quite noticeably :) The biggest challenge that I have run across is pure economics – the cost of the ports makes it hard for them to sell them to customers at much discount. The quotes on 100G transit that I have seen typically have a $60k-$100k per port setup fee to try and recover a portion of costs up front. The attraction is higher in markets where x-connect monthly fees are quite high.

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 <mailto: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.
