At the time PAIX had a reverse-billing setup: the more data you transferred, the cheaper your connection charge was; we managed to get all the way into the cheapest billing tier within the first billing cycle which was basically unheard-of at the time.

    You didn't move out of 200 Paul until long after you were acquired though. I always wondered why you were there, as there are better connected facilities and those that had cheaper power. Was TelX a hedge or something?

      I was long gone by the time the acquisition came along; looks like I was remembering the move into 200 Paul from somewhere downtown (Spear, maybe). The primary motivation was running out of space, but it also coincided with our first forays into peering. I never went deep into that side of things, so I can’t say for certain what the particular arrangements were.
