Low Latency Network - Unlimited Bandwidth
Built with the help of two local gaming clans (who colocate with us at the Sheffield Data Centre already), the Low
Latency Network is a dedicated network within the Sheffield Data Centre. Logically it's the closest to the edge
routers and comes with NO QOS or BANDWIDTH LIMITING.
Unlike our regular colocation which either includes or has optional dedicated bandwidth, the Low Low Latency Network
is connected to the internet in multiples of 10Mbit, bustable when capacity is near max and managed by us.
Because the Low Latency Network has no traffic shaping, QOS or management, latency is typically reduced to under
35ms - ideal for game servers. It's not the speed of the connection, but how quick the packets get to us which
can determine wether you win or loose in a game!
Check out our
Network Map for information on where the Low Latency
Network sits within our infrastructure, or
contact us for more information.
IP Addresses
- We give you 1 public IP Addresses per server.
- Extra IP addresses are available in blocks of 8 for £10 per month.
If you require more than 64 IP Addresses this may require further information and justification to
RIPE. We will advise you if this is the case.
Remote Hands
We know servers sometimes have problems, that’s why we’re on hand if you need us! We include 15
minutes of Remote Hands time daily with each server. Extra Remote Hands time is available for just
£30 per hour (minimum 30 minutes).
