Benefits

Enabling Business Growth
Our extensive metro footprint helps extend your local network and meet your intercity and IP requirements with a single provider. Our metro services allow easy migration between lit transport options, including private line, Ethernet, wavelength and dark fiber.

Connecting You with Diversity and Availability
Level 3 fully owns and operates a facilities-based network, so we have direct control of end-to-end network quality. To expand availability, we use geographically diverse facilities at all levels, with minimal collapsed intercity or metro rings; diverse or triverse entrances into each Level 3 Gateway; diverse laterals into over 95 percent of our on-net buildings; and electronic diversity design options.

Gaining Flexibility and Affordability
We help you achieve cost savings by reducing operational costs and the continuous investments needed to accommodate growth. We offer flexible contracts with lease and indefeasible rights of use (IRU) options, with an accommodating approach to service portability.
