Except you do the (rather moronic) move seen at some places, get a
non-redundant fibre across the whole country and collect peering and
upstream at a major IX. If the fibre breaks you're doomed, but hey, it's
cheap.

A company I work for is currently announcing three RIPE-TLAs (one own,
two on behalf of our customers), adding a fourth in short time. Not
connected to any IX, although a rather major IX would be in 20km radius.
And another company will start next week (hopefully), also not connected
to an IX due to political issues.
