My "Guess" is that because they are relatively low traffic they pass up IX's to have less points of entry. Makes it easier to put behind cloudflare when a DDoS hits. My endpoints are also in 40160. And I hold two BGP sessions with 40160 via private circuits. They're in a lot of locations too. Likely due to needing local facilities for TDM connectivity. So it's not for a lack of being near IX's.

Ah, I see that now and one Sinch is the customer of the other Sinch. My Sinch endpoints are in 40160.
I don't understand inconsistent peering approaches even more than the lack of peering.

Seems common to me, why do you think it's rare? We have servers in a facility with handoffs to several carriers. We can pay to peer directly with a cross connect, but stopped doing that and just depend on the "free" switching fabric in the datacenter.

Why is it rare for voice networks to have a meaningfully well peered data network, including Internet exchanges?
