So is there a better solution for someone that doesn't actually want a POP there now? If PAIX is the smartest connection facilities wise, that is where we want to be. Are 2 DS-3 connections per router allowed at PAIX? That would be the best solution -- cohab a router at PAIX, DS-3 back to our core and DS-3 up to Pacbell. What am I missing?
PAIX is the best NAP-like object in the Bay Area, in my biased view (I'm a consultant to Digital so the bias is strong). They have better facilities than MAE-W and they aren't subject to ATM's cell tax and PUC vagueries the way Pac Bell's is. The only thing they don't have is a lot of people to peer with, which is a good reason _but_the_only_reason_ why they are not in first place on the west coast.
