A large majority of our membership are ISPs, Internet Service Providers, or access networks as they are literally providing access to the Internet.
LINX was formed back in 1994 by 5 pioneering ISPs (Demon Internet, PIPEX and UKnet, along with UKERNA, the UK academic network, and lastly BT) started linking their UK networks together to save the cost and time delay involved in routing data across the Atlantic to US Internet exchanges.
We have the largest global Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) present at our interconnection locations. These large players need their content, whether it be film or any other online content to get to the end user, fast and with as little latency and buffering as possible. These CDNs also distribute their network in a geographically strategic way in order to deliver this quality of content to their customers. At LINX we also have many media and broadcast networks where this rule also applies.
Modern financial services need to provide a slick experience to users, without compromising security, reliability or control. LINX helps Financial Services providers take control of their data and deliver faster, safer, future-proofed digital services. See how you can directly connect to ISPs, partners and customers with the UK’s leading peering community.
With our services, including Cloud Connect, we are able to provide networks within the finance industry with even more trusted and secure services.

Similarly to CDNs, gaming networks and their end users rely on a low latency service. Peering at Internet Exchanges is a good solution for this, less hops as the traffic travels can mean a lower ping, very much desired in the gaming world. Joining LINX gives networks access to direct peering relationships with key access networks via a single connection.
Any network with online traffic can apply. See what is involved and start your application.
