Then we’ve got the resilient high capacity international data network and cost effective billing models you need.
Uptime guaranteed
Anything less than 100% uptime won’t do for your clients.
You want guarantees because your reputation is on the line.
With industry-leading Service Level Agreements (SLAs) backing a network that was designed to ensure maximum uptime and high-capacity throughput, you can rest easy knowing that IP Transit services from Lightwire won’t be causing headaches.
Billing Method
Safeguard your end user experience and ensure seamless performance even during unexpected surges in traffic by opting for our 95th percentile burstable billing model.
With this method, we continuously monitor bandwidth usage and eliminate the top 5% of recorded peaks over the billing cycle.
By basing your bill on the remaining highest bandwidth utilisation, you can effectively manage costs without compromising on available capacity for your clients.
Burstable Ratio
With a generous 3 to 1 burstable bandwidth ratio, you can enjoy the flexibility and scalability of utilising up to 3x your committed bandwidth.
Handle temporary increases in demand without needing to immediately upgrade bandwidth commitments. The result? Cost savings, efficient resource allocation, and peace of mind.
The solution had to be implemented within a remarkably short window, so we needed to partner with organisations that were agile and capable of delivering Enterprise grade solutions at short notice.”
Time to go-live matters.
IP Transit upgrade in 5 days.
DXC Technology was looking to ramp up IP Transit capacity for their client Queensland Rail during the height of COVID, but hit a wall with the incumbent IP transit provider to ramp up capacity. Sixty days was their stated lead time, and that wasn’t going to fly.
Lightwire helped DXC deliver a significant IP transit capacity upgrade completed, tested, and put into production within 5 days.

Core Network Design
DDoS Protection
Inline scrubbing &
Out-of-path protection
By default Lightwire offers out-of-path protection. We offer an enhanced inline scrubbing service as an optional extra where all of your international traffic will pass through our scrubbing appliances all of the time.
The advantages of this are:
- Fast DDoS protection reaction time – 18 seconds or less compared to approx. 30 – 120 seconds
- Layer 3 up to Layer 7 deep packet analysis for detection – protects against more attack types
- Detection of “low and slow” attacks – picks up on attacks that are low volume rather than just high volume “volumetric” attacks
