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.), has just announced its new fees for 2026 and once again moved to reduce their port fees.
In a brief email to members, LONAP echoes last year’s update by saying they were “pleased to announce a reduction in port fees”, which would be effective from 1st April 2026. The reductions are said to represent an average price decrease of 14% across all ports on the exchange, “delivering over £228k 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 summary of the key highlights.
