Here in the New York metro, you'd be hard pressed to find a vendor
willing to turn away a 10G transit deal and the associated revenue.
In the past few months, I've been approached by half a dozen or so
major carriers eager to sell 10 gigabit ports, and with the capacity
to deliver.  If your customers are, indeed, reporting a widespread
difficulty obtaining 10 gigabit ports from the larger players, I can
think of plenty of smaller ISPs and switch-based resellers who'd be
happy to carry their traffic.


Sure they'd be happy too, but can they actually deliver it? It's one
thing to sell a 4Gbps commit on a 10GbE port...but 30Gbps across four
or five ports is another thing entirely...
