"With more than 50% of our traffic now routed over Asteroid IXP, we have been able to take our network to the next level. In addition to the obviously significant cost savings and improved stability, we have also noticed improved load times in our IP transit connections due to faster loading of certain CDNs and quicker DNS lookup times from Google DNS. This has allowed us to stay price competitive while delivering an even higher quality of service to our customers. We are happy to have Asteroid and all connected peers at the internet exchange as our partners."
"Connecting to Asteroid IXP in Mombasa was a no-brainer for Emtel. Mauritius is directly connected to Mombasa through the LION/LION2 cable and we believe the Asteroid IXP is ideally located to provide the best latency to East African networks. Asteroid IXP also allows us to increase our peering resilience in Mombasa with all CDNs currently present there. We hope to see more networks connecting at the Asteroid IXP in the near future!"
"We are very excited to be part of Asteroid IX in Mombasa and contribute to a faster and more resilient Internet in Kenyas second largest digital hub. Our anycast DNS node improves the resolution time of the DNS root zone and more than 300 TLDs, including the country-code TLDs of more than 30 African countries. Thanks for helping to build the peering community!"
