“We are pleased to offer reliable and cost-effective connectivity options while strengthening our commitment to the Canadian market”
Already established at Equinix in Toronto, and Cologix in Vancouver and Montreal, Hurricane Electric is continuing its commitment to the Canadian market with these two new locations, and will provide high speed IPv4 and IPv6 Internet connectivity through 100BaseT, 1GigE, 10Gbps, and 100GE service.

IPv6 is offered as a core service and every customer is provided IPv6 connectivity, as well as classic IPv4 connectivity.
