Anyway they use the support group email that appears in the web as contact :-) Yes, they offer 1Gbps bidir, and a few 10 Gbps for companies/orgs. The pipes do not need to be that huge, aggregation helps. If I remember well, they have fibre to an IX in Manchester where they get connectivity with carriers, and last year they were in the process of leasing dark fibre to reach Edinburgh (probably in another IX) for redundancy. It was the topic of a discussion in a recent INCA meeting that I didn't attend. As usual, vouchers/subsidies can have a supporting or distorting effect, depending of the rules/conditions + uncertainty if things take time to deliver or are intelligently designed to favor large national operators (a big elephant coming ...). B4RN seems to be doing very good in terms of community investment, so probably these vouchers can't add anything visible to it, but shake the environment ... Warm regards, Leandro.
