Hi All,
We currently have Level 3 and NTT as our transit providers out of London
(Interxion and TH respectively), and now we want to bring a 3rd tier 1 into
Manchester TCW, however I want the utopic 'London Proof' transit and I am
not sure who can truly provide. Level 3 resolutely assure me that

Cogent say their transit is out via slough - and thats sort of not london
but also I am crazy about having Cogent again.
We have Cogent in at Everest as part of our house-transit mix. It does
indeed go out via Slough, at LD4/LD5. They have improved immeasurably over
the last few years IMO.
Hi Nick,
I completely agree with all your points!
One word - marketing.

To add to what Ricky said, as I understand it Cogent goes from Slough to
Manchester, where they have 100G+ of capacity over the pond. So I'm pretty
sure if they provided you with a port in Manchester it would be London
proof. Do you own due diligence of course!

IOW: measure your risk and tend to the lowest hanging branches first.
While I agree with what Nick says here, there's a magical phrase some of the
clients I've worked with have: industry regulatory requirement — even if that
only means getting the costs in for that kind of diversity for the

What is the thing you're trying to avoid though? Connectivity via slough is
still likely to go back into London to get to the cables which go east and
South towards Europe.
I've seen these asks many times but the reality is the UK geography plus
market dynamics doesn't make this as easy as it
Cogent and TiNet/Intelliquent/GTT provide London proof tier 1 transit from
Manchester, both leaving the country in separate directions.
We use both currently.

There are some options, for example we can provide 1273 on a direct session on
a router in Manchester, with a useful amount
