Questions
Service questions
Can you deliver between cities?
No. We currently quote interconnection in the Amsterdam facilities where we have a presence.
How do I request peering?
Send your ASN, prefix count and preferred exchange through the contact form. Our network is listed as AS215605 in PeeringDB.
Is a cross-connect the same as IXP access?
No. A cross-connect is a physical link between facility endpoints. A direct exchange port is a separate service that puts your ASN on an IXP peering fabric. We can quote a 10G ERA-IX or Frys-IX port and the required handoff together.
