Andy, A few points: 1) As a general rule, I wouldn't take peering advice from saledroids. I especially wouldn't take it from C&W salesdroids. 2) If these three, large providers were actually colluding to disconnect PSI's peering on the SAME weekend, they would be in very hot water. DOJ? Hello? 3) PSI has wholesale dialup, so the explanation of traffic inbalance is fishy. 4) PSI was only one of a number of providers that CW's depeered within the last two weeks. I have heard of half a dozen others. 5) C&W sent out their depeering letters over 60 days ago, as stipulating in their BLPA. Other providers have similar cooling off periods. Looks like the guy was snowing you.
