What I mean is we, for example, have multiple contacts for the same
category.

v2.0 displays only one contact per category.

v1.0 does not have this issue.

While I also found clicking through different pages in v1.0 to see which
exchange points or data centres peers are at a little cumbersome, I
still prefer the way it is in v1.0.

Perhaps what the team can do is add a search functionality for this
particular issue so that the pages are still maintained (as a way to
reduce clutter), but one can use the search option to quickly jump to an
exchange point or data centre of interest.

The problem with listing all exchange points and data centres on a
single page is because for very large networks, this can be an
unbelievably long and painful list.

If you are a "small" network, one or fewer pages may be more reasonable
(with a search function) than subjecting the entire system to a single
page view.
