Yep. Get on some IXes first. You’d be able to offload a ton of traffic to free peering, vs sending everything via the transit you pay for.

You don't appear to be on any IXes. Definitely join some IXes before buying another 100G of transit.

DFW has a couple and there are some more that are starting up.

Do y’all like HE for Internet uplink?  I’m thinking about using them for 100gig in Texas.  It would be for my eyeballs ISP.  We currently have Spectrum, Telia and Cogent.
