    PacketFabric costs

    PacketFabric costs vary depending on metro/long-haul connections and your service terms.

    • Metro connections fall within a metro market. For example, a connection between a source port in NYC5 to an interconnect located in NYC1.

    • Long-haul connections can connect to other markets. For example, a connection between a source port in ATL2 to an interconnect located in NYC1.

      Total monthly costs - dedicated

      The following don’t include the initial NRC and cross-connect costs. The Google price reflects the egress traffic examples from above.

      The low end in the examples below reflects 36-months contracts for all services. However, service terms can be selectively applied. For example, you can have one source port on a 24-month contract, another on a month-to-month contract, and a dedicated cloud connection on a 24-month contract.
