VPX Drive Connect+

Every connectivity page says carrier-grade, low latency, highly resilient. You can't check any of it, so it tells you nothing.

Here's what really happens. You buy internet from one carrier, cloud links from another and a circuit from a third. It all works until the day it doesn't. Then you spend your worst day on three calls, finding out whose fault it is.

So: one port, one network, one team to call. We don't own the network. We buy from it because it's 10th in the world, and we'd rather tell you now than have you find it in a traceroute. The ranking, the buildings and the sums are below. Check them.

AWS charges for every GB you send out of its London region. Over the internet that's $0.09 per GB, falling to $0.05 at volume. Over its own private link it's $0.02 per GB within Europe, plus a port charge.

That difference is not your saving. Our charge for the link comes off it, and that depends on your locations and bandwidth. If our price is more than the difference, don't buy it.

It also only counts traffic going to your own sites, your data centre or a partner. Traffic to your customers over the public internet still goes out at the internet rate.

Send us your last cloud bill. We'll show you which traffic would move, what our link costs and what's left. The same sum works on AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, IBM Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, Huawei Cloud, Tencent Cloud, Vultr, OVHcloud, each at its own prices.

AWS's published prices: EU (London) data transfer out, price file of 16 September 2026, and its private link (AWS Direct Connect) from Europe to Europe, with one 1Gbps port at $219 a month. AWS's first 100GB free would take about $9 off the internet column. Traffic to outside Europe costs more on the private link.

Very few networks on earth buy transit from nobody. This is one of them. That's what Tier-1 means: nobody sits between you and the rest of the internet except the network you bought.

Anyone can show you a wall of exchange logos. What matters is the size of the port: 100G into LINX LON1, 30G into HKIX, 20G into AMS-IX. That tells you whether your traffic fits.

Want your own session at an exchange without putting kit there? Remote peering gets you to LINX London, AMS-IX Amsterdam, DE-CIX Frankfurt and New York, DATA-IX Frankfurt, NL-IX Amsterdam, France-IX Paris and Marseille, NYIIX New York and Los Angeles, HKIX Hong Kong, SGIX Singapore, JPIX and JPNAP Tokyo, KINX Seoul, BKNIX Bangkok, NAPAfrica Johannesburg, EdgeIX Perth and Sydney. We handle the membership and onboarding and you get one invoice.

A map full of dots tells you nothing. A building tells you whether you can plug in. LD8 and Telehouse North and East in London, 60 Hudson in New York, Equinix FR5 in Frankfurt, MEGA-i in Hong Kong, Teraco in Johannesburg. From these the service extends to 1,100+ data centres in 60+ countries.

Give us your building and we'll tell you if it's on and at what port speed.

95th percentile billing throws away your top 5% of samples, about 36 hours in a 30-day month, then bills the next highest. Most pages tell you that much and stop. Here's the bit they leave out.

One extra hour a night and your billed rate more than quadruples. Know your numbers. The commit must be at least 10% of the port, so a burst to 1Gbps needs at least 100Mbps committed, with a one-month minimum. Fixed rates are there if you'd rather not think about it.

Most transit is a pipe and a ticket queue. Here your engineers do it themselves. Stop announcing in a region. Prepend toward one network. Blackhole a prefix under attack. No ticket, no waiting for us.

Put internet on it this month and a cloud link next month. Run a circuit for a day when you move a data centre. None of it needs a new port, and all of it comes down the same one.

The port sits in a data centre, 100Mbps to 100Gbps depending on the site. Or at your own building in selected countries, at 100Mbps, 200Mbps, 500Mbps, 1Gbps or 10Gbps. Port terms are 12, 24 or 36 months.

We do. You call us, not the network, and you never chase a carrier. Our NOC and customer support run 24 hours a day and we take the fault from start to finish.
