Canadian Carriers and Neutral Facilities/Hotels
We are in need of bandwidth and rack space in the West, Central and Eastern parts of Canada. I am looking to gather a list of CARRIERS in Canada as well as the major telcom buildings. Do NOT reply with resellers as they are of no use. What can companies expect to pay for 10, 20, 50, and 100mbps commits in Canada? Who are the best providers, worst, most expensive, least?
Interested in Vancouver or other parts of BC, Calgary, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa.
As of now I know of:
Shaw Cable
Telus
????
Does Peer1 have service there? If so where?
Please reply with all carriers that you know of as well as the names (and addresses if known) of the largest known 'carrier-neutral' facilities and buildings that all carriers bring fiber into.
Thanks!OneStop Network - http://onestop.net

Look at http://www.151frontstreet.com - the largest carrier hotel inToronto. It will show you the carriers available and you can track down the other stuff form there. Peer1 there and also in 1 Yonge Street, but that info is on the peer1 site.
Peer1 offer good service at good prices, uptime is quite okay as well! I use them at 151front.

The market might be changing in Montreal soon with the opening of Canix.ca (they're supposed to be Montreal's first carrier hotel). There's not much bandwidth there for now, VDN, Videotron, InvisibleHand and some others.. but more are coming soon.Jean-Pierre Abboud / I'm the TekGURU

Who is offering transit out of Toronto at $50/mbps and what is the commit level? I have contacted several providers in the area, and nobody is even close to this... the cheapest I have seen is nearly 2x this price at commits of 100Mbps +

Even Istop isn't that cheap. IStop stills want 1XX/mbit. Good luck even finding $50/mbit CAD on US grounds without a huge commit.

We did a survey a few months ago of all the options and came up with Peer1 as the best way to go for service, price and access to telecom providers.
They will deal most on colo/bw and have good locations throughout the country.

I suggest you search the NANOG mailing list archive http://www.merit.edu/mail.archives/nanog/ regarding Ralph Doncaster and IStop before making a final decision.
