Maps and satellite imagery
The north-west Europe backdrop behind the latency map and the aerial photos on the datacenter pages are Web Mercator crops of two open datasets. The building positions come from OpenStreetMap. The pins and labels on top are ours.

Figures on the site
- Latency numbers on the map
- Our own measurementsRound-trip latency from Amsterdam that we measured over carrier circuits, rounded. Public-internet pings read higher. Your own figures depend on your carrier and your route, not on the distance on the map.
If we have credited you wrongly, credited the wrong person, or you would rather not appear here at all, mail sales@colocation.amsterdam and we will correct it.
