Amazon Peering

Thu Jan 24 19:21:15 UTC 2019

We circled back with them yesterday on a request we made in late November where at the time they said they wouldn’t be turned up until 2019 due to holiday network change freeze.

They responded within about 4 hours, thanked us for our patience and understanding and said we should expect them to be turned up in about 6 weeks, which is apparently their typical timing.
