I would prefer not to use a third party provider
because of the IP backbone. My experience has been
witht eh third party providers is that there is not
enough responsiveness (packet loss issues) to
burstable traffic at market open and close. 
Unfortunately when the third party networks were
designed there was no forethought into the need for
market data traffic or multicast. They were
concentrating on FIX and CMS traffic which is low
volume low BW TCP traffic.

I think the real answer here is to be as close to SFTI
as possible if you intend to go direct. Hosting at 2
or more SFTI DC's seems is the best option. Direct
local access seems second best
