Dear colleagues, I'm at a loss here. My current project is to find "good" transit providers in those regions: South America, Eastern Europe, Africa, Asian-Pacific. Requirements are simple: - good regional connectivity/peerings - fair reach to "mainland" Europe (London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt) - locations close to exchanges (so we can join there, too) I'm thinking of using two transit ISPs per location (full BGP from our side, of course). I have considered MCI, BT Infonet, Verio, Reach, Sprint, for AP and/or Latin America, but they of course all tell you that they are greatly interconnected. For eastern europe I'm really at a loss, and Africa seems to lack regional connectivity. All I can found is local stuff. So, if anyone can give me a hand here, that would be greatly appreciated. TIA, Elmar. -- "Begehe nur nicht den Fehler, Meinung durch Sachverstand zu substituieren."
