[OCCAID] OCCAID is now live at Bratislava, Slovakia

[Mike Bran]

After much anticipation, we have now extended our European network all the way to Slovakia.
We are pleased to announce that we have begun peering with networks housed in KIX exchange.

For reference, BGP community area code for new POP is as follows:
code: 807 <---> Bratislava BTS, LZBB

During the turn up process we have started peering with XS26.net, a tunnel broker service.
Traceroute comparisons showing the improvement are below.
