It’s one of the reasons we moved out of there. Moving day was an ... interesting experience: lots of planning to minimize downtime, and everything that was actually planned went relatively well. Unfortunately, what we thought was a 90% plan turned out to be more like 50%. Several people pulled all-nighters on that one.
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.
- scurvy 7y agoYou 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?
- kd5bjo 7y agoI 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.
