U.S./Europe connectivity

Tue Dec 5 18:04:45 UTC 2006



     I am doing some work on a network in central Illinois that is 
currently peering with Sprint and McLeod. They have a number of 
customers in the U.K. and they want to reduce latency to that part of 
the world. They've been offered a point to point 100 mbit link between 
their facility and a location in London from Cogent, but this isn't IP 
service. They've asked me to sort out how they can use this link or to 
find a good alternative for them.


    A long time ago I think Teleglobe peering would have been the snap 
answer for European connectivity, but its been a few years. Who would I 
look to in terms of a carrier on that side of the pond? We've got on net 
termination with Sprint as a starting point for a link ...
