Hi,

I'm not sure, if thats a stateside thing, but GTT started increasing the 
prices on customers that were out of contract to try and get them back 
into a long term contract.

For us that was the last straw, where we simply told them to take their 
IP transit and keep it. Cancelled all GTT connections and replaced them 
with a carrier, that doesn't try to screw their customer base.

Kind regards,
Martin List-Petersen
