Global Tier-1 Carriers

Tier-1 providers are networks that can reach every destination on the internet without purchasing transit from anyone else — the "default-free zone" of the internet. Your traffic never traverses a congested mid-tier network.

GTT Communications

Global Tier-1 IP network with 450+ PoPs across six continents, spanning 260+ cities in 170+ countries. Carries over 14 Tbps of traffic at peak.

Cogent Communications

Top-5 global backbone with 97,000+ route miles of fiber, 302+ markets in 57 countries, and 185+ Tbps of internetworking capacity.

Lumen / Level 3

200,000+ route miles of fiber, 42,000 miles of submarine cable, and 60+ countries. Ranked #1 in CAIDA AS rankings — one of the world's largest Tier-1 networks.

TI Sparkle (Seabone)

600,000+ km of fiber and submarine cables, the #1 backbone in the Mediterranean, and a critical digital gateway between Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

BGP Failover

Zero-Downtime Network Design

Multiple independent uplinks from different Tier-1 carriers operate simultaneously. BGP routing ensures traffic always takes the optimal path — and if a carrier fails, failover is instant and invisible to your users.

Redundant Multi-Carrier BGP

BGP routing automatically directs traffic through the fastest available path. Carrier outages trigger instant rerouting with zero packet loss.

Uncongested & Low-Latency

Tier-1 carriers maintain capacity well above demand — no oversubscription, no throttling. Single-digit millisecond latency to major internet exchanges.

12 Tbps DDoS Mitigation

Always-on volumetric DDoS protection scrubs malicious traffic upstream before it reaches your server. Included at no extra cost.
