PSI (back before they went belly up) was even better with their "free
peering" bait-n-switch. I looked into that, and they'd run a T1 to us for
free peering, but I didn't think that would cut it. I wanted at least
frac-T3 if we were going to peer. Well...frac-T3 peering wasn't available
in the city we wanted to peer in, but they offered to sell us frac-T3
transit there.
