The LINX PI service offers a unique, fast, and simple way of establishing a dedicated connection between two LINX members. It provides a simple and cost-effective solution for members with significant individual traffic flows to other LINX members.

Our PI service is available at the following sites;

  • Telehouse North, North 2, East and West: £2000 per 8 pairs of fibre install, £500 Annual recurring
  • Digital Realty, Sovereign House: £3000 per 6 pairs of fibre install, £500 Annual recurring

Patching between members within the same building (Intrasite connection) can be requested through our NOC.

Each patch will be carried out as soon as possible from request and has a £100 install charge.

There is the option of an additional £400 one-off fee (£500 total) to expedite any PI patch requests within a 24-hour deadline.

This additional fee is to cover LINX’s costs of sending an engineer to the site for an unscheduled visit.

To enable private peering between Telehouse North, Telehouse North2, Telehouse East, and Telehouse West, a cross-connect is required between the LINX PI ODF in each site.

1 single-mode fibre pair between buildings:

  • Install: £1000
  • Annual recurring charge: £2400

Note that, as with all LINX services, the LINX PI Service may not be used as part of your backbone and is reserved for traffic between two members.

LINX offers reseller services and can connnect networks to Italy, NaMeX, Japan, JPIX and NYIIX in the US.
