WHY LINX WALES

Keep Welsh traffic in Wales

Traffic stays in Wales

Internet traffic between Welsh networks stays local, reducing unnecessary routing through London and delivering better performance for Welsh businesses and their customers.

Lower latency, shorter paths

Direct interconnection in Wales means shorter paths and fewer hops, so traffic moves faster between networks and performance improves for end users across the region.

Greater resilience

Peering locally reduces dependency on long-haul routes and distant exchange points, giving Welsh networks a more resilient and controllable infrastructure.

Control of traffic routing

Peering at LINX Wales puts you in direct control of how your traffic moves, reducing exposure to third-party transit providers and strengthening your overall security posture.

OUR SERVICES

Available at LINX Wales

Connect directly with hundreds of networks to exchange traffic. Direct interconnection lowers latency, gives you greater control over how traffic flows, and makes it simple to expand as demand grows.

Explore Peering

Separate and manage multiple network connections over a single physical port, keeping private traffic isolated within LINX infrastructure while simplifying how you manage it.

Explore Private VLAN

A private Layer 2 network connecting multiple sites, partners or customers, for controlled traffic exchange within LINX infrastructure.
