It does concern me that the only connectivity options are FE/GE, no 10GE at this time. Makes me wonder about how serious the service is, and whether I will end up with a more congested service than simply getting a mix of transit providers myself.
It depends on what you mean by "serious". As I understand it, it's not targeted at the big end of town -- there's no way you wouldn't be going direct to the big tier 1s yourself if you needed multiple 10GE pipes, for a wide variety of reasons. Instead, it's intended as a "leg up" for the smaller players to get into the marketplace *without* needing to make a huge commitment to the big tier 1s and manage far more moving parts than would otherwise be the case. - Matt
