Local access pricing data

The European Local Access Pricing service details prices paid by carriers (not tariffed rates) for off-net local access leased line and Ethernet circuits in 20 European countries. The Local Access Pricing Service also provides a limited set of on-net circuit pricing data, reflecting the prices charged by carriers for circuits in their local markets. Circuit prices are classified into two categories, based on the distance of the customer premise from the carrier’s PoP:

  • "Metro" circuits, which span 25 km or less, and
  • "Rest of country" circuits, which connect to customer premises more than 25 km from a carrier’s PoP.

Leased line and Ethernet circuit prices are shown for 12 different capacities:

Leased Line Ethernet
512 Kbps 2 Mbps
1024 Kbps 4 Mbps
T1 10 Mbps
E-1 20 Mbps
E-3 FastE
