- 100GE Port at LON1: FyfeWeb has deployed a 100 Gigabit Ethernet port at LINX’s primary London location (LON1), providing substantial capacity for traffic exchange and future growth, as well as enabling them to offer LINX ports, peering services and more to customers anywhere on-net.
- Presence at LON2: They have also established connectivity at LINX’s secondary London peering LAN (LON2), ensuring redundancy and improved network resilience.
- Peering: The FyfeWeb network is now actively peering with over 600 different networks, including major ISPs, content providers, and cloud platforms.
Colin Peckham, Interconnection Specialist for LINX said;
“We are excited to welcome FyfeWeb to LINX not only as a member themselves but as a new ConneXions Reseller Partner. They have a new and fast evolving UK network and we are privileged that LINX is part of their success and future growth for the North.”
Jaden Fyfe, Technical Director at FyfeWeb also stated;
“Joining LINX has always been a long-term goal of ours since we started building our own network over 5 years ago. We’re gaining access to hundreds of direct peers, as well as gaining the ability to offer LINX services in any of our on-net data centres around the UK as a ConneXions partner.”
Connor McDonald, Operations Director, added;
“Joining and partnering with the London Internet Exchange has been one of the things at the top of our list for some time. That combined with FyfeWeb being one of only several networks offering London-based LINX services in the North East, this really enables us to help current and future customers to thrive and reap the rewards of LINX.”
LINX is one of the world’s largest and most respected Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), enabling networks to interconnect and exchange traffic efficiently.
What joining LINX means for our customers and partners:
- Lower latency & improved routing: Direct peering reduces transit dependency, optimises routing paths, and improves speed and responsiveness.
- High-capacity: 100Gb connectivity enables FyfeWeb to handle high traffic volumes, supporting bandwidth-intensive applications and services.
- Ultimate flexibility: As a LINX ConneXions Partner, FyfeWeb can also now facilitate LINX membership and connectivity for other networks in any of the 6 UK-based data centres, from Newcastle upon Tyne to Wolverhampton, delivered over their MPLS backbone network.
This expansion reflects FyfeWeb’s vision of building robust, scalable network infrastructure that meets the demands of their hosting and connectivity clients for many years to come.
