It wouldn't suprise me if C&W dropped GlobalCenter as a peering partner, given GC's focus on datacenters and web/server farms generating mostly "push" traffic - I didn't see this as an explicit requirement, but less clueful backbones (Genuity, PSI, and now C&W) do tend to drop peering sessions with other backbones that push far more traffic than they pull.
BTW, I just noticed that the Exodus/GC merger went through (at least, www.globalcenter.com brings up Exodus's front page). When did this happen?
Exodus bought Global Center. The web hosting side of Global Crossing. Global Center did not have a network. Global Crossing does. Hope that helps...
