Our network and bandwidth

PX Media’s hosting network is fully redundant on every level. Dual routers, core switches, and more.

There is one important thing that you will enjoy about our network: peace of mind. We deal with the large so called “Tier 1″ providers on a daily basis and their night long maintenance events, crashing routers, overselling, and more. And when something goes wrong, dealing with them is next to impossible! It takes hours just for them to take a look at a support ticket! Then, their reply usually is: “Humm. Have you rebooted your router?” ARGH!

Why go through all that hassle? Whenever we have problems with a provider’s uplink, we just shut it down and let our other providers continue taking care of our Internet transit. When the bad uplink gets fixed, we just activate that uplink again. And thorughout all of this, your network keeps running, and you did not have to deal with the large so called “Tier 1″ providers. We’ll give you access to the Tier 1 providers, without the hassle.

Our network is multi-homed, meaning that we connect to the Internet via multiple providers using the BGP protocol.

We guarantee the highest quality in network connectivity and the highest uptime possible. In fact, our downtime can be measured in under 10 minutes per year. And that’s taking into account maintenance! Since our network is made of two of everything, we only perform maintenance on one device at time, thus, our network continues running through the remaining active equipment while maintenance is going.
