> I also happen to know this data is being transferred out of country to CDSI; ASN 23498

CDSI is Cogeco Data Services, Inc., a Canadian ISP, which later became Aptum, which in turn was acquired by Beanfield, also a Canadian ISP (the founder Dan Armstrong is actually well known in the internet community in Canada) that operates AS23498.

So I don't see how this would prove your data is leaving the country.

Um. This is weird. I know Dan (and the entire Beanfield team, at least the old guard of 10-15 years ago). Do we know each other? I was in 67 Mowat (aka Carpet Factory) off and on for a long while....

Pretty sure we don't know each other. I am a fairly recent addition to the country (2019) but we've worked with Dan and Beanfield during COVID when we put together a server for Folding@Home in our office to help them with the huge increase in load due to interest in the COVID research they were doing. Beanfield sponsors the pipe and we donated the hardware and rackspace. That server (the only Canadian one), by the way, is still running to this day. We also came up with the WiFi@Toronto project which a paper says reduced the spread of COVID in those neighbourhoods by 14.4% (https://utoronto.scholaris.ca/items/f542d219-7abe-4918-846f-...). Again, Beanfield sponsored the pipe to exit all the traffic onto the internet and we sponsored the networking equipment and were the ones installing the APs on rooftops.

Cool project! You're probably right - I haven't been in the Liberty Village area much since 2014, and moved to the US in 2022.
