Re: Carrier Options in Bogota

[nanoguser99 via NANOG <nanog () nanog org>]

This would be vanilla IP transit (BGP w\ our ASN and IP space). Our services are delivered to clients over the public 
internet. I just need decent connectivity to these end users without hopping to Miami to go 2 blocks down the street!

LATAM, and Bogota in general seems like a pretty fragmented market where some providers have good peering with some 
locals but not all. Edgeuno seems to be a general one size fits all but latency to Claro was somewhat high.
