It’s true that smaller ISPs have their challenges, but the cost for both interplant and extraplant connections has been generally decreasing. Economies of scale and peering agreements can mitigate many of these costs.

True, we connect our main ISP pipe to an internet exchange for that reason. It's also interesting to see how the industry is adopting pluggables for a lot of newer deployments because depending on what you need, there's a lot of flexibility now compared to even 5 years ago.
