Agreed. There's essentially no reason not to put in an exchange, anywhere three or more ISPs are present. > There's also Boston Internet Exchange which has been slowly picking up > steam, over at 1 Summer; you may want to look into remote interconnection. That's 90 miles away, so I'd recommend not trying to extend their switch fabric that far. If you were considering a second exchange in Boston, I'd definitely recommend using the same switch fabric for both locations, but not at 90 miles of remove. That would put a pretty big burden on the smaller ISPs that are likely to be participating in Springfield. -Bill
