Why isn't Hurricane in your mix yet? They have great routes, some of the lowest pricing available, and they are always easy to reach at the NOC. They also peer at nearly every IX possible. They're #1 in number of BGP adjacencies. It looks like they have 3 or 4 paths in/out of Africa. I'd use their looking glass tool to check latency and peering.

Dear Nanog
For those running a AS with multiply POP locations around the world who would you recommend as a strong tier 1 transit provider in Europe (good routes to Africa would be a bonus)
We currently take full table feeds from Telia, GTT, Cogent, Retn, tisparkle (Seabone) we are also looking at adding NTT in the USA and maybe also in Europe but any other recommendations ?
Happy to be contacted by transit providers off list, thanks in advance
For Europe, even though it's 10% of our overall traffic, we have been happy with the top 7 global carriers.
For routing into Africa, I'll unicast you.
Mark.
