When you see this please raise it to my attention. I can't promise a resolution but will promise clarity in what is going on. 

I know some cities are problematic as we are moving cages or datacenter space and have the usual related problems. 

There is always something.

The largest peer on our local exchange couldn't even get Akamai to complete a peering turn up because whoever was working on the ticket on the Akamai side got stuck on trying to set up the wrong location. And then months pass, it never got resolved, and then they decided to pull the cache. Akamai had one hand failing to set up new peers and the other hand saying why aren't there more peers, and the two hands never know what the other is doing.
