As a founding member of MBIX, LES.NET has donated a Gigabit of Internet to the Manitoba Internet Exchange http://mbix.ca/ in order to start feeding the Akamai cache and support the CIRA root DNS servers.

Akamai is a popular content delivery network used by companies like CBC, TSN and Facebook.

With Akamai online at MBIX, customers who use an Internet Service Provider that is a member of MBIX will enjoy drastically reduced latency and access to locally cached content.
