          <div>I'm curious how the datacenters feel about potentially
            losing all this cross connect revenue.  It has to be a
            pretty fair chunk of their profit.  We all know that it
            doesn't cost $225/month (>$8k over 3 years) for 50m of
            fibre to sit in a tray, but we know that that 10Kva of
            redundant, protected power and cooling is worth every cent
            we pay for it.<br>
            <br>
            I think Macca raised a reasonable point... everything on 1
            physical port is crazy.  But everyone else has made the
            obvious conclusion that Megaport[S] open up some fantastic
            options for us all.    How exactly does the service work if
            we take 2 ports? Are they aggregated or active/standby ? Is
            it the same cost to take up the 2nd port?<br>
            <br>
