3 Tier-1 Carriers. One Connection.
Multi-carrier internet for data center tenants, delivered over a single connection to FiberFed. An alternative to the telco, the cable company, other aggregators, or a single Tier-1.
- Reach several Tier-1 networks without a port and contract for each
- 1310 nm LR handoffs at 1G, 10G, 100G or 400G
- BGP with full, partial and/or default routes
- Get on the regional Internet Exchange (IX)
- One contract, one bill and one 24×7 NOC
- Burstable billing available
Why one connection beats several
| One Tier-1 | Several carriers, bought yourself | FiberFed | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upstream networks | 1 | Several | 3 |
| Contracts and bills | 1 | One per carrier | 1 |
| Ports and cross-connects | 1 | One per carrier | 1 |
| Who you call | That carrier | Each carrier | Our 24x7 NOC |
| If a network has a problem | One path out | You manage the failover | We manage the upstreams |
Four ways we deliver it
Your quote can show more than one, side by side.
Co-Managed Carrier Sourcing
The local telco or cable company's circuit, compared for your address, then installed, billed and supported by us, with fixed 5G backup where coverage allows.Cloud-Fabric
Your connection carried on FiberFed's own network, with Tier-1 upstreams and the regional Internet Exchange. See data center internet.Infrastructure Networks
A fiber build or licensed microwave where no carrier reaches, and private networks for schools, libraries and government.The details
| Handoffs | 1310 nm LR at 1G, 10G, 100G or 400G. New builds to your facility start at 10G. |
|---|---|
| BGP | Full, partial and/or default routes, using your own registered ASN. A monthly fee applies per ASN. Static routing is available if you do not run BGP. |
| Internet Exchange | Get on the regional Internet Exchange (IX) through your FiberFed connection. |
| Upstreams | Multiple Tier-1 networks. Our routing is public: see AS398044 on bgp.he.net and PeeringDB. |
| IP addresses | Each port includes an IPv4 /31 and IPv6 /127 for the link, plus a routed IPv6 /56. Larger IPv4 blocks are available on justified need, or bring your own with BGP. |
| Billing | Fixed commitment or burstable: a committed data rate with 95th percentile measurement, per the DIA in Data Centers Rider. Combined billing across several ports is available. |
| Link aggregation | Where available, two or more ports can be bonded into one LAG, treated as one service for the SLA. |
| DDoS protection | Always-on detection with scrubbing, as an add-on for services from 1 Gbps to 100 Gbps, per the Managed Services Schedule. |
| Facility charges | Your facility may charge for cross-connects, space, power and remote hands. |
| Service levels | Availability commitments by service tier, up to 99.99%, per our SLA. |
Who buys this
Enterprise
Your own cage or cabinet needs more than one way out, without managing several carriers.Hosting and SaaS
Announce your own space over several upstreams, and burst when traffic does.MSPs
Give client environments multi-carrier internet with one contract and one support line.Carriers and ISPs
Add upstream capacity and IX access, with full routes if you want them.How it works
- Tell us the facilitySend your data center, port speed and the routes you want.
- We design itWe confirm how we reach your facility, which upstreams apply, and any IX you want.
- You get an order formIt states the port, handoff, bandwidth or commitment, service tier and charges.
- Cross-connect and turn-upYou order the cross-connect to our equipment unless the order says otherwise. We bring up the port and BGP, and our NOC takes it from there.

Common questions
Do I need my own ASN?
For BGP, yes: you use your own registered ASN, and a monthly fee applies per ASN. To announce routes for a third party, we need a Letter of Authorization from the registrant. Without BGP, static routing is available.
Can I use my own IP addresses?
Yes. Announce your own registered addresses with BGP, or route them statically.
How does burstable billing work?
You commit to a data rate, which is billed every month. We sample the port every 5 minutes and keep the higher of inbound or outbound. At month end the top 5% of samples are discarded, and the highest remaining sample is your usage. Anything above the commitment is charged at the per-Mbps rate on your order form. You can burst up to the port speed, subject to available network capacity.
Who pays for the cross-connect?
In a data center we do not operate, you provide and pay for it unless the order form says otherwise. If we provide it, the cabling charge on the order form applies.
How do I get on the Internet Exchange?
Tell us which exchange you want when you ask for pricing, and we will include it in the design.
Do you sell the cabinet and power too?
This service is the connection. Space, power and remote hands come from your facility.
My data center is not listed. Can you still reach it?
Tell us the facility. We build to data centers on demand at 10 Gbps and above.
Can you also connect our offices?
Yes. Add Dedicated Internet at your offices, or link them to your cage with Ethernet and WAN.
