Are exchanges really that unreliable compared to a traditional cross connect?
Not necessarily. It's just that when money is changing hands, folk tend to find (passive) x-connects within the data centre to be far more reliable (even though they are not infallible) than passing traffic across another (active) system being run by someone else in the same physical facility. Plus, some service providers will drastically reduce or eliminate SLA's (for whatever they may be worth) if there is another active system in between you and their service. Mark.
