The London Access Point (LONAP), which is a not-for-profit Layer 2 Internet Exchange Point (IXP) based in London that was first established in 1997 and works with various different members (broadband ISPs, CDNs, mobile operators etc.), appears to have responded to recent price cuts at LINX (here) by refreshing some of its own fees.
In a brief notification to members, LONAP said they were “pleased to announce a reduction in port fees”, which would be effective from 1st April 2025. The reductions are said to represent an average price decrease of 14% across all ports on the exchange, “delivering over £230k of annual savings to our Members“.
The latest LONAP pricing is available at https://www.lonap.net/fees, although their member notification also included a brief rundown of the key highlights.
