A simple year-around (24 x 365 ¼ basis) might have been enough. 2) The peering bandwidth you cited as in excess of "2.5Terrabit per second" (earth-bps). I believe you meant "2.5Terabit per second" (Tbps). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_prefixes http://www.simetric.co.uk/siprefix.htm Two nits I spotted :

We connect to them at two physically separate locations on our MPLS network. Just as a footnote (assuming that there are no further comments) LINX is seen as a role model in this space.

Off the top of my head we at Timico have 6 different way's out onto the internet. Tref Steve

Off the top of my head we at Timico have 6 different way’s out onto the internet.

It isn't the case that we have "everything going through one peering organisation", Internet traffic routing is far more complex and diverse than that. LINX encourages its members to peer as widely as possible, not just in London. Hope that helps. Regards John Steve

Not to mention revenue to HM government! Question is - is it a good idea to have everything going through one peering organisation? Steve Hi Trefor – congratulations to Linx and I think it is imperative to the Uk economy to be a vital & integral cog in the internet. Not to mention revenue to HM government!

Question is – is it a good idea to have everything going through one peering organisation?
