Bell outage

Fri Aug 4 22:13:08 UTC 2017

I am pretty sure most of the fiber runs counterclockwise from Toronto to Buffalo. Just a fact.

I think having a lake right in the middle makes a really nice, natural, diverse route between the two locations, as is the case with the many routes running east and west around the lake out of both 151 Front and 350 Main.  It’s great for non latency sensitive traffic if your short path fails, but it sucks for latency sensitive traffic if your short path fails.

What’s the solution in that case if you need geo diverse, low latency routes between two longish haul points that can only be connected by one major highway and one major railway, and where there’s a large likelihood that the even a single route would have to use both those pathways?  I’m sure it's trivial to get geo diverse routes out of any major carrier hotel, but what about the in between bits?
