                                  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>
