End of an era

TENET now runs all institutional traffic over SEACOM:

Bandwidth usage on the SAT-3 portions has dwindled to almost nothing; the SAT-3 connectivity should terminate sometime in the next month or so.

Interesting to see some BGP traffic on the Telia backup link - perhaps routing changes to some of the institutional ASs propagating through and settling down?

Surprise surprise

So it turns out that some people have been using the looming spectre of the 2010 Soccer World Cup to help talk up their projects.

Infraco - I'm talking about you!

It's not that surprising, really. What is interesting is the talk of SAT-3 (amusingly and unintentionally further abbreviated as at-3) being upgraded to 320 Gbps. This will at least help Telkom with some extra bandwidth - 120 Gbps was pretty paltry at introduction and now looks downright anemic. Does Telkom dominate the SAT-3 consortium so much that it can just force the upgrade?
