If Seabone doesn't serve you well.
GlobeNet would remain. She should give 110ms here to São Paulo.

We actually just got rid of Seabone over performance or lack there of.

Seabone and very good. Some 20% of the internet goes through them. If they had problems, a lot of people would feel it. Maybe you guys had some punctual problem not solved, right?

It wasn’t issues, it was latency and the fact our Noction IRP very rarely determined them to be the best route to anything.  We have numerous providers and one of those alternatives was more often than not chosen by Noction due to it providing a better path.

There had to be noction.  are you complaining about Tier1 routes?  talking about latency in tier1 is having something wrong.  Or you're carrying something where you shouldn't be.

We recently got rid of our Seabone i.e. Telia Italia Sprinkle bandwidth due to it not performing as well as we had hoped to Latin America.  Out of our data centers in Tampa and Miami we currently have Level 3, Telia Carrier,  TWTC, Cogent and public peering of FLIX and NOTA.   We are considering adding Telefonica to improve performance to Brazil and throughout Latin America but I though I would ask you all who you think would be the best addition to the network for serving South America and Central America. 

Most LAC region broadband and mobile providers are owned by Telmex, Telefónica and Telecom Italia. 
The submarine systems reaching here are Level 3, Telefónica, Sparkle (IRU @ Level 3 for most of the path), Telmex, Globenet and Monet (Google/Algar/Antel). 

You actually need a mix a match of those to get good performance. Sparkle is likely not the best way to reach Telefónica owned operations, but it is to reach Telecom Italia-related (like Brazil's TIM). Oi used to own Globenet so they are likely a good way to reach those subscribers.

You should also try peering at other US locations with LAC cable landings, like Ashburn and NYC.

The numbers are good.

Telefonica is a great choice as it is one of the largest operators in Brazil.

Note that Telefónica latency figures only apply to customers in their cone, which is usually only Telefónica broadband and mobile operations.
