Thanks and also thanks to the other folks that replied privately. That
matches basically what I had found, but I wanted to check.
Transit is also ok, I'm doing the usual minimum connections/maximum
communications in case of (earthquake, volcano, tsunomi, etc) math. Is
there someplace in Anchorage that buying transit or peering from one or a
few ISPs is significant enough, or is it going back to Seattle anyway and
the local ISPs already have done the math.
