About LINX Wales

Wales was set up in 2015 as IX Cardiff, backed by Cardiff City Council and the Welsh Government, to stop South Wales traffic hairpinning through London. It runs from one building, Vantage CWL1 in Newport, and carries 10 networks (Aug 2026) at 2.9 Gbps peak. Peering is free from 1 Gbps to 30 Gbps and £610/mo at 100G — pricing that reads as regional development policy rather than commercial rate-setting.
