Hosts of Manchester’s MCIX network, and chosen by AT&T as their POP for the North West of England, IFL offer unparalleled connectivity. For a truly transparent data architecture working at maximum speeds, you couldn’t choose a better partner than IFL.
First – and most important – IFL are totally carrier-neutral. You choose your Point of Presence (POP). You choose your bandwidth supplier. We don’t bundle rack space with a specific com's supplier. Instead, IFL encourage an internal communications marketplace, with telecoms companies vying to provide the best service for the largest number of customers.
As an IFL customer, you’ll receive a regular report detailing all of the available networks that we can provide, listing services, pricing, availability, and more. There are no third parties or resellers involved; your contracts and SLAs are direct with the provider.
Because we differentiate between rack provision and comms provision, you’re free to change between suppliers. You may even wish to maintain agreements with several suppliers for the purposes of redundancy.
