So... that's all fine then? No additional costs to be absorbed or passed onto customers, and performance will stay the same?
The speeds that people get connections to APE and WIX are usually a lot higher than they normally buy nationally via their Carrier (100M and 1000M connections are common at APE/WIX as getting a MetroIP/Tangent/Whatever connections to these places is a lot less cost than getting it via your Carrier. So for an ISP who has peering at APE with Clear and has a Clear National Connection will have to increase their National pipe via Clear so all the traffic which went from their to Clear via APE will go over their National one now. (Clear make more $$ and the customer has to pay more $$) For those who have Telecom connection and don't Peer with Clear will have to increase their Telecom National pipe (clear make nothing on this and the ISP has to pay more to $$). I would estimate with most people buying via Telecom (who have APE connections and don't peer with Clear, than over 1/2 their traffic via their national telecom pipe is traffic to/from Clears network) Thanks Craig
