Joey: In fact, I have two IP Transit
now and I plan to maintain the same.
I’m planning on having three but I
think two should be more than enough
already. So I think I'm in good shape.<br

After two transit providers, considering three or more should be
driven by something specific you're trying to solve, e.g., latency
reduction, balance to cut cost, presence in a region they cover,
e.t.c. I would caution against adding transit providers for its own
sake.<br>
<br>
If your needs are not complex, two is more than enough.<br>

Joey: unfortunately, all of these circuits are ending in 4
different locations. But yes, I agree with you to centralise the
two locations to make it easier to manage my bandwidth.</div>

Check whether your providers support BGP communities that can tell
them what to do with your traffic. As it's all on-net for them, you
can steer traffic toward whichever link you want even though your
physical interconnects are geographically dispersed, without too
much trickery on your part.<br>
