Colocation · Transit · Dark fibre · Routing silicon
The layer under everything.
Starlight Servers builds and operates physical network infrastructure: buildings, power, fibre, and the forwarding silicon that decides where a packet goes next. We have done it since 1979 for people who measure in years rather than quarters.
We do not sell software, we do not sell services on top of other people's hardware, and we have never operated a consumer product. When something on the net stops working, it is usually in a building. Some of those buildings are ours.

What we operate
Space, power, cooling, and the contract that says so
Cabinets to caged halls, 4 kW to 42 kW a rack, in carrier-neutral buildings we own rather than lease. Two independent feeds, N+1 mechanical as standard, 2N where the hall is sold that way.
Availability 99.999% at the busway. Measured, not asserted.
AS64502, and 41,880 route-km of our own fibre
Full tables, no default, BGP communities documented in public. We do not oversubscribe the backbone and we publish the utilisation curve that proves it.
Commits from 1 Gbit/s. Priced in credits, per Mbit/s, per month.
Open at fourteen exchanges
380 peers, open policy, no ratio requirement, no port fee for settlement-free interconnect at a common exchange. Private interconnect inside our halls is a cross-connect and is priced as one.
Peering requests answered in two working days.
Seven generations, designed here
We have built our own forwarding silicon since 1988 because the parts we could buy were not good enough and, eventually, because ours were better. The eighth family is in RTL.
Not sold externally. It is in the halls; the halls are faster.
Facilities
Twelve buildings, four regions
Contracted figures. Installed capacity is higher at every site and is not published.

Careers
We are hiring in every region
Infrastructure work is unglamorous, specific and long. People stay: median tenure across the company is 9.2 years, and the retention schedule pays its largest instalment at ten. If you would rather own a hall than a roadmap, the list is short and the descriptions are honest.

| SLS-2431 | Information Broker, Commercial Intelligence Commercial Intelligence — Desk 3 | 132,000 – 168,000 credits |

Enquiries
Colocation and transit quotations are issued against a signed NDA and a floor plan. We do not publish a configurator because the answer depends on the building.
