BGP connections turned on in two of our locations

We have started to utilize our new autonomous system (AS18865) and are now announcing our new address space by BGP in two of our three major locations, with third underway.

What does it mean to us?   More reliability (in case of one connection is down, another can be used), and more provider-independence (if one of our locations is closed, or full, customers do not necessarily have to renumber to new IP address space.)

What does it mean to our customers?  Savings in time, and increased network availability.

Stay tuned for IP version 6 connectivity announcement.

Update May 19th 2010: our third location added as well.
