Alestra (affiliated in some way with AT&T), and Avantel (affiliated in some
way with Worldcom) gave us reasonable pricing (reasonable for Mexico City
anyway) on E3/T3 solutions. A couple years ago they were peered with
Telmex in Monterrey I think, which was acceptable given the difference in
pricing (Telmex and GBLX were both *much* costlier).
We got an uplink to both and run bgp. It's been fairly solid. When one's
down, the other's up :)
