Port Fee Changes for 2020
Seattle, Washington (December 18th, 2019) - The Seattle Internet Exchange (SIX) is pleased to announce port fee changes for 2020.
The SIX Board/advisors, factoring in growth, revenue, savings, and future needs, has come to the conclusion that fee reductions are appropriate. We believe these new IXP fees are some of the lowest, if not the lowest, of any major (top 20) IXP in the world.(*)
The following one-time Non-Recurring Charge (NRC) fees/changes are effective January 1st, 2020. There is no Monthly Recurring Charge (MRC) at the SIX.:
- 1GbE:
- KOMO Plaza & Sabey Intergate & Westin Building:
- 1st port remains $100.
- 2nd port remains $100 if >50% usage, else $500.
- 3rd port lowers from $2k to $1.5k.
- KOMO Plaza & Sabey Intergate & Westin Building:
- 10GbE:
- KOMO Plaza & Sabey Intergate & Westin Building:
- Lowers from $2k to $1.5k.
- KOMO Plaza & Sabey Intergate & Westin Building:
- 100GbE (and 40GbE)::
- KOMO Plaza & Sabey Intergate & Westin Building:
- Lowers from $10k to $7.5k.
- KOMO Plaza & Sabey Intergate & Westin Building:
- Port fee is determined by pricing current on the date of LOA issuance or port configuration by SIX admins, whichever is earliest. Thus a circuit allocated prior to 2020 will be subject to previous fees, while a circuit allocated after the new fees take effect, will have the new fees.

We believe these changes will encourage further growth of the community in a sustainable fashion.
