Mix-and-match flexibility
Different routes can ride different carriers. Pair Verizon with Eurofiber for diverse-path; layer Relined for a third option. Same hand-off process, different upstream.
[ Carrier-neutral ]
Connectivity that adapts to you.
Three dark-fiber carriers terminate inside THG1 on redundant paths each. Native peering at DFIX, Tier-1 transit one cross-connect away, AMS-IX via our partner Netrouting (AS6206). You pick the carrier and the contract structure that fits — we issue the LOA and pull the cross-connect.

[ Why it matters ]
Carrier-neutral by structure, not by claim.
Carrier neutrality means more than a marketing line. It is a structural choice: Data Facilities owns the colocation and the BareFABRIC layer-2 / layer-3 kit. We do not own the dark fiber underneath, and we do not have an upstream we are pushing.
That structure gives customers the freedom to choose the best-suited network service provider for their requirements — by route, by term, by contract — without a hosting provider sitting in the middle of the relationship.
The practical effect: customers avoid carrier lock-in, get genuine route diversity, and can renegotiate carrier contracts without leaving the facility.
Three benefits, all structural.
Each one falls out of the structure — owning the colocation, not owning the fiber. None of these are extra charges.
Enhanced network resiliency
Six discrete physical paths leave THG1 across three carriers. Single-backhoe risk does not take down a customer circuit. Diverse-path is documented in the install record.
Cost-effectiveness
You compete carriers against each other on the terms that matter — by route, by contract length, by IRU. We do not mark up the underlying fiber; we charge the cross-connect once and let you keep the upstream relationship.

[ How DFDC connectivity helps ]
The operational work, handled.
We handle the LOA workflow, pull the cross-connects in the meet-me room, label the patches, document the diversity in the install record. You light the pair with whatever optics your DWDM kit supports.
Cross-connects to carriers are charged at a low one-time NRC, no monthly recurring. Diverse-path installs are available on request, with documented physical separation.
- LOA workflow through the BareFABRIC portal
- OS2 single-mode hand-off at the meet-me room patch
- Diverse-path installs documented in the record
- Cross-connects to carriers at low NRC, no MRC
- Re-pulls and re-routes on contract
- Carrier sheet available under NDA
[ Quote ]
Tell us the route. We will quote across three carriers.
Send us the endpoints, the term you want and any diversity requirements. We come back with per-pair, per-route, term-based pricing across whichever carriers you want to evaluate.
