be sure that you either: a) plan for a second path for when the backhoe arrives b) understand that you may slosh 'lots' of traffic 'elsewhere' when A happens if you don't want to ship/install/etc a device in a cage in 'equinix' but rather use a Xconnect/fiber provider solution you're moving your failure domains around a bit.
