Connectivity & Interconnect
Connectivity & Interconnect
Synapse connectivity runs on network infrastructure Synapse owns, with points of presence in Manchester and London, multiple diverse subsea routes into the Isle of Man, and direct peering with the networks your business already depends on.
Overview
Our Connectivity Service
Synapse connectivity is built on more than 130 years of telecommunications heritage via Manx Telecom, with dual data centres on the Isle of Man, points of presence in Manchester and London, and multiple diverse subsea routes rather than a single point of failure. Latency to Manchester runs at 2ms.
Benefits
The benefits of Connectivity & Interconnect
-
Diverse by design
Six separate subsea routes connect the Isle of Man to Northern Ireland, Great Britain and Ireland, so no single cable failure isolates your traffic.
-
Direct routes to the networks that matter
Tier 1 IP transit through Colt and Arelion, with direct peering at London (LINX), Manchester (MINX) and Amsterdam (AM-IEX), plus network interconnects with Vodafone and Colt.
-
Close to the platforms your business already runs on
Peering with Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Meta, Apple, Netflix and Akamai, backed by more than 240 strategic peers in London and 120 in Manchester, keeps traffic to major platforms off the open transit path.
-
Ownership extends to the network too
Cross-connects and routing carry the same ownership and accountability as the racks or workloads they connect to. There is one contract and one point of contact for the site and the network that reaches it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight Answers
Yes. Connectivity runs on infrastructure Synapse owns, backed by Tier 1 transit and direct peering, rather than a single resold circuit.
Direct routes exist to Microsoft Azure. Confirm current scope for other cloud platforms with a senior consultant before assuming parity across providers.
Traffic can route across six separate subsea paths connecting the Isle of Man to the UK and Ireland, so a single cable fault doesn’t isolate a site.
