Mexico City, live since 2026, is in MEX1 in Santa Fe, the financial district on the city's west side. We joined IX Mexico with a single carrier — Arelion — and learned quickly that being the only low-cost rack in a country of 130 million people is a supply problem wearing a demand problem's clothes: the site has run low on stock for most of its short life.
The site carries 0.24 Tbit/s of edge capacity at a 5 ms local median, with 31 ms to Dallas, 35 to Miami and 84 to Santiago. It is the highlands, now with an IX: Mexican users finally have a domestic rack at the flat price, and pan-Latin workloads have a northern anchor that is not in the United States.
