Upstream Providers

Juniper MX

Carrier-Grade Core Routing

CONNECTIVITY

Four ways out of Phoenix.

Our upstream is a 1.6Tbps blend across three Tier 1 carriers and a regional internet exchange, built from multiple redundant 100Gbps links per carrier. Traffic follows the best available path for each destination, and if one carrier has a bad day, it shifts to the others. No single provider can take us offline.

Our address space is announced from AS401640: ARIN-assigned IPv4 and IPv6 allocations we hold directly. Your VPS address belongs to our network, not to a third party we rent from.

Check Our Routes

The Upstream Blend

NTT · AS2914

Tier 1 global backbone, one of the largest networks in the world. Strong reach into Asia and Europe.

TATA Communications · AS6453

Tier 1 carrier with deep international routes, including transpacific and transatlantic capacity.

Cogent · AS174

Tier 1 carrier with one of the largest North American footprints. A workhorse for domestic traffic.

Ninja-IX Phoenix · Internet Exchange

Regional internet exchange in Phoenix. Local peering keeps nearby traffic off long-haul transit.

Network Details

🌐

Our Own IP Space

ARIN-assigned IPv4 and IPv6 allocations held directly by BulkVM. Every VPS includes a dedicated IPv4 address and a /64 IPv6 subnet.

⚡

Port Speeds

Every VPS comes with a 1Gbit port. Need more throughput? 10Gbit upgrades are available as a paid add-on.

💸

No Egress Fees

Transfer is included with every plan. Move terabytes in and out at a flat monthly rate, with no surprise bandwidth bills.

🚀

Juniper MX Core

Enterprise Juniper MX series routers handle all routing and traffic engineering. The same platform large carriers run, not consumer-grade gear.

📡

Low Latency

Ninja-IX peering reduces hops for regional traffic, and the upstream blend peers directly with networks like Amazon, Google, and Cloudflare. Run your own tests from the Looking Glass.

🔒

DDoS Mitigation

Network-level traffic filtering through our upstream providers. Severe or sustained attacks are handled via nullrouting to protect shared infrastructure.
