Toronto POP

[brad]

Yes, I noticed that. My co-lo provider already has a v4 session up and at least one major DSL provider in the area that I'm aware of. At the moment I'm interested in seeing a session turned up with Primus Telecommunications -- AS 6407, currently they have a session with HE at NYIIX.

broquea, able to comment on my request for HE to also turn up a session with Primus @ TorIX?

HE now peers with Primus @ TorIX.

Could HE please look into peering with Rogers (AS812) in Toronto? Currently HE is peering with Rogers in Ashburn, Chicago and New York.

Just fired off an email to them.

Thank you. Could HE also please look into peering with Cogeco Cable (AS7992) at TorIX?

I might also suggest looking into peering with Peer1 (AS13768) in Toronto although they don't connect to TorIX for some strange reason. They have their own PIX public exchanges in the Canadian cities with POPs that being Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver.

I see Peer1 is also at Switch and Data Toronto. Most likely they have PIX Toronto accessible from their Switch and Data infrastructure.

Please also look into Shaw Communications @ TorIX (AS6327) whom you already peer with in at least Ashburn, Chicago and New York and Videotron Ltd (AS5769).

Rogers, Shaw, Cogeco, Videotron, as well as Mountain Cable and Eastlink (whom you already peer with at TorIX) are the major cable co's in Canada.

Looking at the current session list HE has good coverage for the majority of the rest of the carriers, hosting providers and independent ISPs in Canada via TorIX.

Please also attempt to establish peering with Bell Canada (AS 577) and Telus Communications (AS 852).
