# IP River

> IP River is a UK wholesale ISP and network operator, and a global internet platform. It aggregates 33+ UK carriers, altnets and fibre networks plus 100+ global carriers across 50+ countries, delivering multisite connectivity behind the channel partners who sell it — MSPs, brokers/dealers and resellers/VISPs. Channel-first: it never competes with its partners. It runs its own BGP network (AS62163) and has been a LINX member since 2008.

## Key facts
- Identity: wholesale ISP, network operator, internet platform, Layer 2 wholesale buyer, LINX member. NOT a carrier, NOT Tier-1, NOT an MSP, does not own fibre/ducts/exchanges.
- Scale: 33+ UK carriers/altnets/fibre networks · 100+ global carriers · 50+ countries · operating since 2008.
- Network: own BGP network · AS62163 · LINX member since 2008 · 24/7 NOC.
- Channel models (important):
  - MSP / reseller / VISP / wholesale partner = white-label — they handle all customer comms AND billing; IP River is invisible to the end customer.
  - Broker / dealer = introducer — they make the sale and keep the relationship and margin; IP River delivers, services AND bills the end customer directly, and never goes around the broker.
- Products: broadband (FTTP/FTTC/SoGEA), Ethernet & Dedicated Internet Access, leased lines, dark fibre, LEO satellite (Starlink), 4G/5G mobile; Private WAN (L2/L3), CloudConnect, DDoS protection, DNS/content filtering; multi-site rollout and managed delivery.
- Platform: quote, order, deliver and manage in one portal under one contract; white-label tenancy with end-customer read-only logins and data isolation; API-first by design (programmatic quote/order/manage, scoped per-tenant keys, supplier-event webhooks — deeper self-service is part of the platform rebuild).
- SLA care levels: Critical (6h resolution / 1h 24-7 response / up to 70% credit), Enhanced (20h / 3h / up to 50%), Standard (40h / 4h / Ofcom auto-comp), chosen per service.
- Proof: Dobbies (migration + SD-WAN), a global flexible-workspace operator (~500 UK sites, brokered, ~£500k/yr saved once complete), a large European retailer (1000+ sites, via UK MSP); references from Viatel and Focus Group.
