Liberty Connect is proud to announce its membership on the Kansas City Internet Exchange (KCiX). Our connection to the KCIX reduces latency for our Internet customers, by providing a direct path to major content providers.  This benefit is automatic for current and future internet customers.  

Advantages of being connected to the KCiX:
  • Peers can share traffic directly
  • Reduces latency
  • Fewer hops
  • Provides stronger Internet services in our area
Internet Exchanges allow networks to interconnect directly rather than utilizing third-party network providers.  Internet Exchanges save money by allowing members to directly connect to each other, rather than using more expensive and less efficient upstream providers.  Traffic flows are localized within a region, which provides shorter route paths for many core Internet services.
