| Cogeco to buy Peer1 I could be wrong, but doesn't Teksavvy use Peer1? Think this will have any effect on our internet in the future if this deal goes through?

Wow very interesting! I've never used Peer1 but I've always been interested in their Toronto DCs as a point of colocation.
This seems like a natural move for Cogeco considering their existing datacenter footprint with CDS. |

Ah, Cogeco. The company whose own employees can't get Cogeco service, because they put their headquarters in Montreal, completely outside of their own service area...
My employer also uses Peer1, not sure how this will effect us either. Although as a developer I'm pretty far removed from such things :P

Do you realize how many people work for Rogers and cannot get cable tv or internet from them? I can name at least 7 Rogers call centres in areas that only have Rogers wireless. |

Instead of hops showing as ****.peer1.net, they'll show as ****.Cogecopeer1.net or perhaps just Cogeco Data Services as an arm of what they already own of the former Toronto Hydro Telecom...
...Watch TSI use a different provider for transit once things do come up for renewal as I'm sure it will get more pricey lol. |

How big is Peer 1? They're not listed in this wikipedia entry.

kudos:3 | Why would they be listed on a page with internet exchanges? They are a hosting and transit provider, not an internet exchange.

The fact that they were bought out for roughly half a billion dollars should give you a pretty decent idea as to their size...
