New features

Cross connects page Customer request

We added a new top-level page specifically for PacketFabric-outbound cross connects (cross connects extending from us to you, using an LOA provided by you). From here you can do the following:

  • View and manage your cross connects.
  • Order cross connects for eligible services (Dedicated cloud connections, point-to-point connections, access ports).
