“IXPN’s robust infrastructure, combined with Layer3’s world-class solutions, will make high-speed, buffer-free streaming a reality for Netflix enthusiasts and users in Abuja and Kano. Netflix traffic will no longer need to traverse the long route to Lagos or beyond, resulting in reduced latency and a high-quality experience.”

The partnership between Layer3 and IXPN is poised to redefine how Abuja residents enjoy online content, especially on Netflix. As Nigeria’s capital city continues to evolve and embrace the digital era, this collaboration will play a pivotal role in establishing Abuja as a digitally connected and entertainment-rich metropolis.
