UK Speed Network: High-Performance UK Hosting Infrastructure

UK Speed Network Infrastructure: High-Performance British Hosting in UK Data Centres

A High-Performance Core Network

UK Speed is built on a high-speed backbone with internal links of up to 600 Gb/s, engineered for performance and reliability 24/7. The network runs dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 across the entire infrastructure, with multiple failover paths that keep your services online even if any single link goes down.

Three Data Centres in the Heart of the UK

UK Speed 1 — Coventry: our core network hub, with a 600G link to Birmingham and 400G to Telehouse West.
UK Speed 2 — London: our secondary data centre, with independent routing and a 400G link to Telehouse North 2.
UK Speed 3 — Manchester (Williams House): our northern expansion point, with 100G to LINX and GTT. All UK data is stored and processed within the United Kingdom, keeping you aligned with UK data residency and GDPR expectations.

Redundant by Design — No Single Point of Failure

Every interconnect and transit provider has its own independent backup path, with automatic load balancing across 200G / 400G / 600G routes. Enterprise-grade routers sit at the core of the network, with dual power supplies (Dual PSU) and multi-path connectivity, so a single fault never takes your services offline.

Direct Peering at the UK's Major Exchanges

We maintain a direct presence at the UK's most important internet exchanges:

LINX (London Internet Exchange): the UK's largest IX, with capacity up to 400G.
LONAP: extending reach across London's regional networks. We peer directly with BT, Sky, AWS, Google, Meta, OVH and Datacamp — cutting the number of hops and delivering noticeably faster, more consistent performance for UK users.

Network-Level DDoS Protection & 24/7 Monitoring

UK Speed provides network-level DDoS protection with filtering capacity up to 400 Gbps, stopping volumetric attacks before they ever reach your servers — enabled automatically for every customer at no extra cost. Our NOC team monitors network performance 24/7/365, with instant alerting on any traffic anomaly or link degradation.

FAQ

Where are UK Speed's data centres located?

Our network spans three data centres across the United Kingdom: UK Speed 1 in Coventry (our core hub), UK Speed 2 in London (secondary), and UK Speed 3 in Manchester inside Williams House. All three are linked by interconnects running at 200G, 400G and 600G.

What is the bandwidth between your data centres?

Links between our data centres reach up to 600Gb/s between Coventry and Birmingham, and 400Gb/s to the Telehouse facilities in London, with independent backup paths to guarantee continuity.

What's the difference between Transit and Peering on your network?

Transit is a paid connection through a global Tier 1 carrier (such as Lumen, NTT or GTT) that reaches any network on the internet. Peering is a direct, settlement-free exchange of traffic with other networks via platforms like LINX and LONAP, which reduces the number of hops and improves speed

Does your network support IPv6?

Yes. Our network runs dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 across the entire infrastructure, so all of our services are ready for both current and next-generation internet protocols.

What level of DDoS protection do you provide?

We offer network-level DDoS protection with filtering capacity up to 400 Gbps, stopping volumetric attacks before they reach your servers. It's enabled automatically for every customer at no extra cost.

How do you ensure service continuity if a link goes down?

Every interconnect and transit provider has its own independent backup path, with dynamic routing (BGP) that automatically reroutes traffic if any link fails — with no human intervention and no noticeable downtime.

Which internet exchanges (IXPs) are you present at?

We maintain a presence at the UK's two largest exchanges: LINX (London Internet Exchange) at up to 400G, and LONAP. This gives us direct connectivity to hundreds of local and global networks.

What latency can I expect?

Thanks to our direct links with global Tier 1 carriers and optimised routing through London, UK visitors typically see single-digit millisecond latency to our UK data centres, with low-latency routes into mainland Europe.

Can you provide additional IP addresses or my own BGP?

Yes. We provide additional IPv4 and IPv6 addresses on request, and we can also announce your own prefixes via BGP if you hold an ASN registered with RIPE or ARIN. Contact our sales team to arrange it.

What port speeds are available for our servers?

The default port on all our plans is 800 Mbps, with upgrades available to 1Gb/s, 10Gb/s, 25Gb/s and 100Gb/s over copper or single-mode fibre, depending on the service requirements.

How is the network monitored, and what happens if there's an issue?

Our NOC (Network Operations Centre) team monitors network performance 24/7/365, with instant alerts on any traffic anomaly or link degradation. If an issue arises, it's handled immediately and affected customers are notified by email and via the control panel.
