The member‑owned not-for-profit London Internet Exchange (LINX), which handles a large chunk of UK and global data traffic through their switches via around 900 members (broadband ISPs, mobile operators etc.), has today announced their new service profile and fees for 2026.
The 2026 update includes a few changes, such as the ability for networks to now consume 10Gbps of peering on a 100GE port, which should make the step-up to 100GE even easier. LINX have also increased the service bandwidth included in the monthly membership fee from 2Gbps to 4Gbps over a 10GE port.
The first service of up to 4Gbps will now also be included free of charge at each LINX operated location in the UK, US and Africa – “that’s 36Gbps of potential service included“. The services applicable include Peering, Microsoft Azure Peering Service, Private VLAN, or a Closed User Group.
Megan Atkins, CCO at LINX, said:
“We listen to the feedback from our members and monitor the changes in our industry to judge how best to increase value to the community.”
For many of our members, this enhancement offers a direct reduction in operational networking costs and a simplified path to expanding services.”
