A decade of price cuts emphasises LINX's commitment to lowering peering costs for its members

The London Internet Exchange (LINX) has announced that prices for its 10GigE ports - already the lowest of any of the largest international IXPs - are now even cheaper following a further 5% cut.

Over the last decade all LINX prices have dropped by anything from 20 to 80% with the LINX joining fee and traffic charges being abolished altogether. LINX now has over 350 members from 50 countries with more peers on a single LAN than any other Internet exchange point. In addition LINX has more sites over a greater metro area, plus access to more Internet routes, than any IXP in the world.

LINX Chief Executive Officer, John Souter, said: "LINX has a very strong belief in the importance of the member-owned Internet exchange model and strives to make peering as cost-effective as possible for all its members. Reducing our 10GigE port fees is just one of the ways that LINX is helping build a stronger and more resilient Internet for everyone."
