What bothers me the most is Google has a habit of always saying that Minneapolis is a small market, and they cannot justify building out a node here. However every intermediate thing that they do fills to capacity shortly after they turn it up, so it definitely does not match their perception of the local market.

I apparently missed it. Thanks for the link to establish bilateral sessions. It's hard to contemplate how Google still keeps their MICE pipes near-maxed 90% of the time, knowing that we can't be the only one that missed this change. I am sure Google has their reasons for not expanding their MICE capacity, although it seems strange to me in a vacuum.

The BGP session with the route servers will remain established. We are planning to implement the change in your IX in the next few weeks. We won’t disconnect from the IX and we will keep current BGP bilateral sessions with individual peers on the IX. We invite other networks that rely on Route-Servers to request a bilateral session. Bilateral session request can be done at: https://isp.google.com/iwantpeering We kindly request you to inform peers in your Internet Exchange of these future changes so they can request bilateral sessions with us if they desire to do so.
