BGP Session In NOVA/WDC
Looking for a BGP session in Northern Virginia or Washington DC. Can be either through a vps, dedicated server, or a 1u colo. I currently have GTT, Cogent, Zayo, NTT, and HE so I'm looking for a provider that has some other "premium" upstreams. Lumen or Telia would be great.
I have seen the bgp services spreadsheet though it seems most listed wouldn't offer any new carriers.
Thanks!

HostUS does BGP in Washington.
Appears to be Psychz transit so NTT and GTT.
I believe you are correct.
HostUS and QuickPacket both do BGP in Charlotte. Don't think either of those are on Psychz but not sure what transit they use.
phoenixNAP and Clouvider are in Ashburn.
Leapswitch does BGP on KVM and Dedis in Asheville.
Cloudvider would bring in Telia, Quick packet in Ashburn has Telia and Sprint, and leapswitch doesn't have a close enough location.
Phoenixnap seems have a bunch of transit providers so that looks like the current best option. Hopefully BGP sessions don't have an MRC exceeding the server/colo cost.
Quick packet does free BGP but not sure about Phoenixnap. Let me know how much they charge for BGP setup/monthly, since they're one of the best options for Phoenix and Ashburn.
We do provide BGP sessions through VM in Equinix DC10. Set up fee is $50 per account.
Our upstream includes CDN77 (Arelion fka Telia, GTT, Cogent, TI Sparke, Telefonica) and Voxility (NTT, Arelion, Lumen).
Maybe @freerangecloud can help you in Ashburn, VA.
Is Voxility actually routing any traffic over Lumen for your network? Using your test ips Lumen isn't showing any direct routes and when using your looking glass to a WDC Lumen ip it goes through GTT.
We only use Voxility as a backup for our own prefixes nowadays and for egress we only route some selected carriers through Voxility.
For customer prefixes, you're free to manage your ingress routing using the BGP communities provided by us or our providers.
Update on this if anyone is curious: ended up with the i3d Ashburn location. As for Phoenixnap I couldn't (and still haven't) get any response from their sales via ticket, live chat, or phone
What is their pricing like?
Around $180/m (~$60/m for BGP v4 + 6) before bandwidth starting @ ~$2.80/TB with volume discounts available.
Datapacket has Ashburn location with BGP session for a one-time $100 charge.
Colo for 1U 1A is around $130. You will need to get a quote from their sales team.
Sorry for being late to the party, but just noticed this thread. QuickPacket moved to Ashburn earlier this year and no longer offer Charlotte.
We have Arelion (Telia), Cogent, Sprint, Windstream, Google Peering, and Equinix IX. We also have Path DDoS filtering available.
