I'm not sure I follow. What circuits is Exodus going to upgrade?
AFAIK, Exodus has no circuits directly to MCI^H^H^HCW (for private
peering)... Rather, Exodus exchanges traffic with CW at the MAE/NAP's,
and via their Savvis transit ATM VC's (one to the Savvis NYC PNAP at 67
Broad St., and another so some Savvis PNAP in LA).
Some clarification would be greatly appreciated.
