two regional connections travel over the same provider, ensuring that
in the event of a layer 1 connectivity problem, traffic can instantly
and seamlessly be rerouted to another node for delivery.
Network congestion is never
an issue with redundant connections to 11 Tier 1 service providers.

instant access to more than 90% of the world’s IP routes, allowing
them to avoid congested points on the Internet that cause poor network
performance.
