Dear Customers,
in recent months our Traffic has grown exponentially and doubled, if not, quadrupled since Q4/2024.
Recent months we have spoken with many Tier1 and other Transit providers and have negotiated with all sides to get the best prices four ourself.
Mid this month we have met a deal with GTT Communications to add +300Gbit of their blend to the HostSlick Network.
Our current upstream also is to be expanded with additional ports.
As well we start adding Internet Exchanges oon as we are opening a own POP in NIKHEF with our own Juniper Hardware.
To finish everything, we announce planned maintenance in the first or second week of March 2025. We will announce 24/48h before.
We dont except any hiccup but there can be connection resets as we are setting up our own BGP Mix to balance all traffic between our Upstreams.
In October we migrated over to our Juniper MX960 and new core network stack (as read here). Now its finally time to start deploying some of this powerful devices possibilities.
We will announce once we have a exact time. But as said, customers probably wont notice anything as this is just adding another Upstream and adjusting/balance routing for the best performance over all upstreams.
Thanks.
Kind Regards,
HostSlick e. K.
