We recently informed you of our intention to launch a new backhaul product for beyond POI to POI, called Chorus Exchange Connect (CXC). This new product is intended to be available for ordering from 4 September 2023, and we will inform you if this date changes. 

Summary of Chorus Exchange Connect (CXC) 

1. New backhaul product beyond POI to POI, subject to capacity and availability   
2. Bandwidth managed 10G and 100G variants  
3. CXC Lit pricing will be distance-based

This variant will have distance-based pricing within set steps i.e., A: 0-10km, B: 10-20km, C: 20-40km which align to the ICABS pricing steps and will only be available until CXC Lit is launched on the relevant route
