Oles,
Does the contract you have with Orange mean that you are unable to filter your announcements so that BGP customers are not announced to Orange and similarly not announce the availability of the Orange prefixes to BGP customers? I would have thought that having BGP communities would allow you can then distinguish between routing for the OVH network and any BGP customers so that you do not break these terms.
I was keen on the possibility to take an OVH/Chtix BGP transit offer in London, however, this doesn't look like it will be possible now. The 100Euro for 100Mb offer is/was fantastic, especially considering the great network, peering and transit you have on AS16276. Your size makes you a great provider to smaller networks that simply don't pass enough traffic to demand presence at the peering points directly, however still want the best network for their clients.
Whilst on the subject, is it now possible to take a Chtix port and use a private VLAN so that I can use my own IPs and routing on OVH dedicated servers? The lack of BGP transit would be a shame, however I need to be able to use my own network and IPs on OVH dedicated servers.
Regards
Richard
