Correct. As I said in my post, if a colo customer wants to purchase directly from one of the listed providers they can...or they can choose the NationalNet blended bandwidth which is the same bandwidth that we use for our Managed Hosting customers. That bandwidth literally changes all the time based on what we find is the best carriers for our network. We employ a staff of high level network engineers who are constantly interrogating our network to look for places that we can add or remove carriers.
But, so that you dont think I am avoiding your question, as of right this minute we have established BGP sessions with 36 carriers. Without trying to list them all, they range from the big guys like Level3, Telia, Google and Limelight to small providers that most people have never heard of. For example, we peer with one group that sells connectivity to colleges from coast to coast so that we are one-hop away from all of these college kids which make up a large part of our customers customers. This is the type of proprietary stuff that goes above and beyond servers and switches that we do for our customers every day.
Hope this answers your question!!!
