IP Transit

CONNECT... A 10 Gigabit enabled network, diligently engineered to give you dependable and low latency connectivity.

IP Transit the overview

Our tried-and-true, low-latency IP transit service gives you dependable global reach at a price that will help you to get the most out of your IT budget.

Ninety percent of our traffic is exchanged over peering for the best possible efficiency and performance. And those peering relationships are at the largest exchanges in the world: LINX and AMS-IX.

The remaining 10% of our traffic is routed by high quality Tier 1 carriers, such as Level 3.

We deliver the reassurance of generous overheads on backbone links: we run at less than 80% capacity to rule out congestion.

Plus, we’ve got much sought-after peering with the key eyeball network providers, including both BT and Virgin.

who uses ip transit?

IP Transit in The Wild

Full transit

Ideal for situations where there is a requirement for high quality, highly reliable IP transit for connecting servers to the Internet, and where you don't want the overhead of managing your own peering relationships, or to run a national network (we take care of all that for you!).

Partial transit

Where a full transit connection from another supplier is already in place, partial transit can be used to reduce expenditure by utilising lower cost peering routes. No extra resilience is gained, but latency (response time) and routing quality (general reliability) will be improved.

Level3 transit

The solution for when you want to manage your own relationship with a tier 1 network — maybe using this service in combination with partial transit to give you complete control over your routing.
