RE: Variety, On The Media, don't understand the Internet

Not all ISPs are fortunate enough to be in a town where there is an active exchange with Netflix/Akamai/Google presence. For instance, Montréal just recently oopened a peering exchange. While this will eventually allow local ISPs to peer with the big content providers, until this happens, small ISPs have to get that content via paid transit links.

lolwut? Montreal isn't a small town, just not developed on peering side. What's the cost of upgrading your IP transit in Montreal or getting a 10G wave to Toronto for peering w/ content nowadays? Not very much. james
