Re: TorIX Upgrade

i understand that, and usually providers will give preference to public/private peers to cut transit costs too so my concern is that they're avoiding TorIX for performance reasons.

I've talked to OVH network group a bit the last few months and managed to get TSI and OVH to setup a private peer at TorIX to get around bad performance through the public peer. They would likely be open setting up a private peer too with Start. If rocca's interested, he can reach their network group by contacting support@ovh.ca.

shaded, if start has a fairly little used 10gbit torix link and OVH has a half-used 20gbit (total) link, then you will pretty much be guaranteed a good link. In this case, performance is not the reason Bell is preferred. Also, this is on OVH's end, though you've also mentioned this.

rocca, I am currently with TekSavvy. If I switch to Start, do I incur the setup fee?

Thanks

No if you have an active cable internet connection at the same address and just transferring it to us then there is no installation fee applicable.
