Four telcos now POP’d in CIX!
We now have four telcos who have a POP in CIX!
The four telcos in question are Smart Telecom, Verizon, Magnet Networks, and Complete Telecoms.
This has happened so quickly (from when we first started having discussions with the telcos) that e|net have decided now to put a POP in CIX as well.
We still have plenty of room in our telecoms Meet Me area and fully expect to add more telcos in the next few weeks.

Aha, so I guess when I asked our Magnet account manager if they were going to have a presence in CIX, he didn’t know so he just said no.. That’s great news, might finally be able to get the webserver off the ground now.

Replied via email… But just for the general public..
The case seems to be that when I first made inquiries to Magnet about migrating servers to CIX from our in house hosting, they weren’t aware that they would be present as a carrier in CIX.
As I’ve been following the progress in CIX for some time, my initial inquiry to Magnet was made some time ago (quite possibly before CIX even had racks for carrier equipment installed!) and so it’s understandable that I got the answer I did back then.
It’s good to see that our ISP is going to be included in CIX though, as it’s more logical for us to host our server in Cork (and a damn sight cheaper than other data centers we’ve been looking at)
