Lumen 400G Metro Data Center Connectivity for AI

Lumen 400G Metro Data Center Connectivity for AI

AI buildouts and multi-cloud scale are stressing data center interconnect, making high-capacity, on-demand metro connectivity a priority for enterprises. Training pipelines, retrieval-augmented generation, and model distribution are shifting traffic patterns from north-south to high-volume east-west across metro clusters of data centers and cloud on-ramps. This is the backdrop for Lumen Technologies push to deliver up to 400Gbps Ethernet and IP Services in more than 70 third-party, cloud on-ramp ready facilities across 16 U.S. metro markets. The draw is operational agility: bandwidth provisioning in minutes, scaling up to 400Gbps per service, and consumption-based pricing that aligns spend with variable AI and data movement spikes.

In Q2 2025, Charter reported a net loss of roughly 117,000 Internet subscribers, including about 50,000 disconnects associated with ACPs end.
