week. We are working hard to continue to provide services to all customers
in those facilities via alternate infrastructure. Whilst we are fully
entitled as a carrier to do so, people should not underestimate the level of
obfuscation we continue to encounter.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>I understand that pulling out of a datacentre has some
significant cost implications, however leaving infrastructure in a non-carrier
neutral location is generally worse news in the long term...</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>Hey all,</FONT> </P>
<P> <FONT face="Comic Sans MS"
size=2>I presume this is not news to those who use Pipe services in an AAPT
datacentre, so I want to put the question out there….</FONT></P>
<P> <FONT face="Comic Sans MS"
size=2>What are people going to do about it? I mean, other fibre carriers
to get to Pipe? Move to another DC? Etc etc</FONT> </P>
<P> <FONT face="Comic Sans MS"
size=2>I am involved with half a dozen ISPs located in AAPT who use Pipe for a
variety of services, and I am wondering what to advise them.</FONT></P>
