Savvis 3561 still exists on Centurylink's side too. 6 networks down to 1 ... How much of that fiber for each network was running in the same conduit to begin with anyway? Centurylink Qwest Savvis Level3 Global Crossing TWTC On Fri, Oct 28, 2016 at 12:24 PM, joel jaeggli <joelja@bogus.com> wrote:

So if this went through, how would it happen? Does 3356 (L3) absorb 209's (CL) infrastructure and slowly make customers change their peering config to hit 3356 instead?
You make a good point, I have at least a couple clients that peer to both providers for redundancy. One of which just recently signed an agreement with CenturyLink for the sole purpose of fail over.

This is great! Except for all of their mutual customers who had circuits from both for redundancy. (See also: Level 3's and TWTC's mutual customers, and probably a long list of other M&A I'm not thinking of off-hand.)
OK, I lied about it being great anyway.
