Just as another viewpoint on this. We do not peer or have GGC Cache servers, but I put in a request for a portal account after seeing this thread, and it was approved in less than 24h, so YMMV.
The only thing I can think of that is different, is that we do move enough traffic for Google to have us flagged as 'Your traffic levels qualify for Google Peering' (~2.5Gbps) and are an eyeball network. *Ben Hatton* *Network Engineer | Haefele Connect* d:(607)589-8000 | b...@haefeleconnect.com * <https://www.htva.net>* On Tue, Mar 30, 2021 at 9:15 AM Troy Kelly via NANOG <nanog@nanog.org> wrote: > We've also been denied access to the ISP portal. > > When we replied as to why, we were told to not open another ticket.
