Carrier Options in Bogota

Fri Jul 1 19:07:24 UTC 2022

This would be vanilla IP transit (BGP w\ our ASN and IP space). Our services are delivered to clients over the public internet. I just need decent connectivity to these end users without hopping to Miami to go 2 blocks down the street!

LATAM, and Bogota in general seems like a pretty fragmented market where some providers have good peering with some locals but not all. Edgeuno seems to be a general one size fits all but latency to Claro was somewhat high.

Is there a provider that's 'well peered' with all the locals? Hoping this formats correctly but here's the results of ping tests on various looking glasses to prefixes of the various locals.

They have IP transit, co-location, and other offerings so perhaps there is a match there.

For the nations in which we are deployed with them, EdgeUno has solved most of those issues for us.
