Extraordinary's Network
Extraordinary operates its own fully redundant, diverse fibre BGP4 network (AS30827) on Juniper carrier-grade routers, with direct connectivity to LINX and Tier-1 networks. If one Internet route fails, traffic is automatically rerouted via alternative paths to maintain service.
Extraordinary is also a member of RIPE—the Regional Internet Registry (RIR) for Europe, Central Asia and the Middle East—responsible for IP and AS allocations.
LINX
Extraordinary connects directly to the London Internet Exchange (LINX), one of the world’s largest and most established internet exchanges. Our presence at LINX London delivers low-latency connectivity and direct peering with hundreds of networks.
To further strengthen connectivity across the UK, we also maintain a presence at LINX Scotland in Edinburgh, enabling efficient local peering and lower latency for Scottish traffic while enhancing resilience and routing.
Our Tier-1 Upstream Networks
Colt

NTT
NTT’s Tier-1 global IP network spans the Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania on a single AS (2914), with significant transpacific capacity.
Arelion
Arelion (formerly Telia Carrier) delivers a global Tier-1 IP backbone reaching 125 countries, supported by a 75,000 km fibre network across North America, Europe and Asia.
Benefits of direct connectivity to major Tier-1 internet providers
Fewer network hops
Less reliance on multiple intermediate networks reduces potential points of failure and increases the likelihood of more direct routes.
Greater capacity
Tier-1 providers offer far more bandwidth headroom, making them less susceptible to congestion and better able to absorb traffic spikes, attacks or other disruption.
Faster data throughput
High-capacity Tier-1 networks allow data to flow more quickly, improving download speeds and overall performance.
Increased diversity of routes
Large global networks can reroute traffic via alternative paths and cities when congestion or outages occur, improving resilience.
