LINX membership has seen exceptional growth in recent months with 52 members joining in 2008 alone. This rapid development has continued into 2009 with a further 26 applications to join the exchange since the beginning of the year. Overall, LINX has more peers, more sites over a greater metro area and access to more Internet routes than any other Internet exchange point in the world.

LINX CEO, John Souter, said: "As a mutually-owned organisation, LINX has been cutting its prices for a number of years now. We are confident that we have achieved a 'virtuous circle', whereby lowering our prices leads to an increase in the number of members. This in turn leads to greater economies of scale and enables us to continue to cut our prices still further."
