Oh, you ordered cross connects for a PNI and they stopped responding mid-project? Isn't that nice!

Similar experiences here with Amazon.  Initially had semi-regular responses from their peering team, they issued LOAs, 
I ordered the x-connects and then radio silence for months.
At the point now where I'm disconnecting x-connects since it's a waste of money.

I also saw sessions come up this weekend, no routes yet though.

Mike-

Definitely moving forward now. Someone from Amazon was working with my peering group and things started coming up this 
weekend, so it seems like they're catching up pretty good now.

Let us know your success as well. I'll hold off following up on my requests until I see that other people are 
successful. I don't want to contribute to flooding them with requests.

Thanks Jason. I'll have my peering team take another crack at reaching out and see what happens. Appreciate it!

We circled back with them yesterday on a request we made in late November where at the time they said they wouldn’t be 
turned up until 2019 due to holiday network change freeze.

They responded within about 4 hours, thanked us for our patience and understanding and said we should expect them to be 
turned up in about 6 weeks, which is apparently their typical timing.

I hate to necro-thread , but has anyone seen any movement from Amazon on this? I just got a Strongly Worded Message 
about it, and according to my peering team , it's been radio silence for months.

This is a note I received on Oct18 when checking on a peering request submitted on Aug7..

“Apologies for the delays here. We have temporarily frozen IX peering as we revise some of our automation processes. 
I’m hopeful this will be unblocked by early November. Thank you for your continued patience.”

It seems wasteful for Amazon to connect to an IX but then ignore peering requests for a year.

They have 40G of connectivity but are unresponsive. I'll try emailing all the other contacts listed in peeringdb.

Thanks

I've e-mailed my contacts there a couple times on people's behalf. No response yet.

It seems like a lot of organizations need 1 more person in their peering departments.

Hey all,

Does anyone have a direct contact to get a peering session established with Amazon at an IX? I sent a peering request 
Dec 2017 and two more times this Sept and Nov with no response.

I sent to peering () amazon com<mailto:peering () amazon com> and received one automated response back so I know they 
received my email but nothing since.
