Port Fees

From October 1st, 2004, SwissIX is pleased to offer all peering ports for free, without any monthly recurring fee. Only a small Yearly Participation or Membership fee. Our sponsors made this possible, along with volounteer work of our board members and several others, too. Thank you!

If you like to connect via FastEthernet (Cat-5) or Single-mode-fibre, please follow the how-to-get-connected procedure. The deployment usually takes 1 to 2 working weeks.
