IP backbone Customer connectivity 8
IP backbone Carrier grade by design High capacity 10Gbps inner core (London-Paris-Amsterdam-Frankfurt) No two core routers are connected to the same city via the same path Customer access routers are always diversely connected to the two core routers in each city Redundancy & Resilience Multiple access routers and multiple ring topology Two diverse cables for transatlantic connectivity 9
IP backbone Internet connectivity 55Gbps 70% Maximum level of backbone saturation 100Gbps European IXPs Content Providers 28Gbps IP network Carrier ISPs Direct and indirect peering and partnership agreements to US and Asia To ensure that much of your Internet traffic is carried over a network with performance guarantees, and less reliant on the increasingly unpredictable public Internet 10

IP Access Flat fee or usage based billing Public Internet IP Backbone or Partner access circuits Sub 2Mbps to 10Gbps CPE managed CPE router NOC Fully managed end-to-end network DNS: Authoritive name servers, Anycast, port randomisation IP Addressing: 8 fixed PA IP addresses or existing IP addresses 15
Billing models Fixed Fixed (Flat fee) Available on all access circuits and compatible with all features and bandwidths, with excess traffic volume option Speed Volume Usage Based Billing (UBB) per Gigabyte Based on the total of inbound and outbound byte counts Usage Based Billing (UBB) 95th Percentile Samples are taken at five minute intervals in order to determine incoming and outgoing bandwidth consumption Variable 16
Billing options Flat rate UBB 95th Percentile UBB per Gigabyte Billing by Fixed committed bandwidth Actual bandwidth Actual volume Key benefit Predicable fixed costs Burst above committed bandwidth and only pay for a percentage of the bandwidth used Flexible bandwidth on demand and only pay for excess traffic over a committed volume Key issue Peak demands will exceed available bandwidth and costs not related to usage Not a fixed cost Maximum bandwidth Limited to the committed bandwidth Up to 4 times the committed bandwidth or the maximum available bandwidth Customers Where Internet access is a cost, not an enabler Where Internet access is a direct cost of sales 17
