I believe he said he's paying for 1.5 Gbps capacity over a 10 Gbps uplink (though it's currently only set at 1 Gbps and needs to be fixed). So the maximum shared bandwidth is 1.5 Gbps, but he has physical headroom if he needs more.

Optic swap to the 10G was today.

I won't disclose what the usage is but with everyone live there is tons of headroom. The redundant carrier and construction is underway as well.

Great talk, enjoyed it immensely. Say you wanted to increase the bandwidth of the line, would this simply be a matter of running the another length of fiber through the existing conduit?

Or swapping the optics. Today they swapped from the 1G to 10G.

I can use other strands or run them in the second conduit we installed.
