A couple of FTTH items, an interconnection expansion, and some edge data protection:

NetIX continues to expand its European network reach, adding connectivity another three IXPs. They have added the Swedish IXP Netnod, the Russian-based IXP Piter-IX, and the Netherlands-based IXP InterIX. Destinations on all three will be accessible through NetIX’s GIX platform, boosting the number of ASNs directly reachable by 400.

CityFibre says its rollout of FTTH in Bracknell continues to roll on. They have now finished the neighborhoods of Easthampstead, Harmans Water, Binfield, Birch Hill, Crown Wood, Great Hollands and Jennetts Park, and are moving into Bullbrook, Warfield, and Ascot.
