You may want to double check your verbage when talking with providers. Transit = you pay for the bandwidth. Peering = free and is a mutual agreement between the two providers.Sounds like you want transit. I'd stop using the "peering" word as it may be confusing people, including your providers.

However my approach to the SPs was very specific (and ADN understood exactly what I wanted when I first approached them and are working on a quote)... I specifically asked how we would go about getting a second point-to-point link and peer with them over that link (and for existing providers such as ICE and RACSA) how we could upgrade our current contract to allow us to announce our own PI space... I am not sure how I could be any more specific than that... Ken
