Why Peer with Global-MIX?

Our overriding aim is to help you, the ISPs, deliver the best possible video experience to your users. That makes your customers happy, our customers happy, and that makes us happy!
Streamed video and audio is sensitive to network conditions so it makes sense to keep the network path between source and receivers as short as possible. Transit routes should be avoided as these tend to be the busiest paths and can incur the longest delays, as well as being expensive to use. Peering alleviates these potential pitfalls and minimises the risk of a degraded viewing or listening experience.

Maximum efficiency is gained by supporting multicast in your network and multicast peering with us. If multicast is new to you we can help you get up & running quickly and easily.
