Their Access core which is strategically located in 16 sites around the country are Cisco 7609's and a few Juniper M320's with multiple 10Gbe aggregating onto a 40Gb/e Juniper T640 Transit Core.

I don't work for em, I used to contract for em but now work for the competition. But I am envious of their network...!!

This is pretty much as good as it gets! (WRT IP Cores in Europe at least!)

Rest well VM customers, I think your bandwidth requirements are more than adequatly covered for the next few years.
lol, i know its been a long time since this thread went quiet but i had reason to indirectly link to it today

and only just noticed my bad typing ,SORRY about that ,were ever you see Mb/Mbit, i did indeed mean Gb/Gigabit, at least i think i did,its been a long time now, and i cant remember the maps urls i based the posts on, but TBO i cant be 100% sure now, as incompletes post said 'That map is a bit out of date.' so perhaps it did say Mbit?

are there new maps to see now with the current kit/speeds as a general guide, not to give to much away as it were but good for PR and such as long as its accurate?.

still, not to worry,it may get some interesting posts if theres any interested tech readers here now.....
its all good if it enlightens and entertains the readers after all...
carry on with any interesting points you may have for today and the future.
