Just looking through the article again, I see that TC are claiming that increased local traffic is raising costs. Umm, HOW!? The circuit to APE is a fixed cost, there's no charge for traffic only for capacity. I'm sure WIX is the same.
The evil freeloading ISPs that they peer with are getting free access to the TCL network in order to transmit traffic to the TCL customer. Ofcourse, TCL ignores that: 1. They've been paid by their customer to transmit that traffic. 2. That their customer requested (or offered) that traffic from (or to) my customer. We haven't ever threatened to charge them for access to our network - and our traffic ratio with them is pretty close to 1:1. aj -- Network Operations || noc. +64.9.915.1825 Maxnet || cell. +64.21.639.706
