@Bluebird_Net has upgraded their QCIX Remote Switch uplink to 1x100G. 100G ports are now available at BBQC in Bettendorf, IA!

We have QCIX main switch at our IA-Davenport site and a QCIX remote in our IA-Waterloo site.

@egecemkirci We use the network facilities table. We've also added the new carrier facilities as well to our map.

@FrontNetworks Interesting work! Do you rely exclusively on the “geocode” attribute in PeeringDB or augment it with other inference mechanisms? I wonder if “geocode” is indeed the place where peering happens. It is unclear to me since it may as well be the company office/ headquarters etc.

Looking for a place to peer? Here's a map of facilities listed in PeeringDB. The carrier designation is new so not everyone has updated their records yet. southfront.io/peeringdb.html

@aureon @WDMCHAMBER Is this Wave Division Multiplexing Prom?

We registered for @WDMCHAMBER Prom and cannot wait to dance the night away! Are you going?

It's great to see the Carrier records getting filled in on PeeringDB. Here's our record! peeringdb.com/carrier/6
