New Lower Peering Costs for 2020!
VANIX is a not for profit organization and we like to keep traffic peering costs as low as possible. VANIX participation fees are determined by the board based on revenue generated from our participants and the expected costs to manage and grow the exchange, with reserve funds considered.

VANIX supports several Ethernet media types so that participants can avoid unnecessary transponders and cross-connects.
The Annual Recurring Fee is invoiced annually in advance and prorated as required. The Non-Recurring Service Fee also applies to upgrades. Applicable taxes are extra.
If the service speed is less than the port speed, VANIX will calculate the usage on the port with the 95th percentile method. If the 95th percentile calculated rate exceeds the service speed over a calendar month, VANIX will contact the participant.
Participants must meet VANIX at one of the VANIX switch locations, and are required to place any required orders for cross-connects or other services to reach VANIX. Participants are responsible for any required costs to reach VANIX.
