Finding scale in Columbus, OH

AWS and Facebook probably lit dark. They are not buying waves between their big data centers.

Hello,

We've been running into some trouble finding Internet connectivity that will scale (100G) in Central Ohio. So we decided to try and find transport that would scale to other areas that have better Internet infrastructure (CLE, CIN, CHI, ATL, WDC/ASH), our success in this has been surprisngly limited. I know that AWS just put a facility in this area and Facebook is either building one or it is already completed so there must be someone either leasing fiber/transport or they built their own which means that somebody is still doing that kind of construction in this area.

Has anyone completed any projects recently with any success at scale in Central Ohio?
If so, could you share how you achieved this, either on-list or off-list?

Thank you,
-Drew
