What & why

An off-net cache, run by people you can email.

SFMIX runs caches for the big content sources at our exchange. Local eyeball ISPs peer with AS40271 and pull popular traffic — Google, Apple, Steam, Netskrt — directly off the cache, not from your transit provider.

Cheaper transit Cacheable traffic stops counting against your 95th-percentile bill.
Better for users Lower latency, fewer hops, fatter pipes for big downloads.
Economy pricing Priced like economy IP transit. We're a cooperative, not a profit center.
