New Brunswick · network infrastructure
The New Brunswick snapshot records three facilities in two cities and 18 network presences. Moncton holds most of it, with Fibre Centre listing 15 networks. Saint John has PureColo St John SJ1 and Equinix SJ1. The province has two exchanges, CANIX Moncton with 10 participants and CANIX Saint John with one.
Internet exchanges in New Brunswick
Exchanges are attributed to the state through the city they sit in, because PeeringDB records a state for facilities but not for exchanges.
| Exchange | City | Participants |
|---|---|---|
| CANIX Moncton | Moncton | 10 |
| CANIX Saint John | Saint John | 1 |
Colocation facilities
Buildings where networks put equipment. The network count is how many PeeringDB members list a presence there.
| Facility | City | Networks present |

| PureColo St John SJ1 | Saint John | 3 |
| Equinix SJ1 - Saint John | Saint John | 0 |
What a New Brunswick IP address tells you
Moncton carries the weight. Fibre Centre lists 15 of the province's 18 network presences, and the two Saint John sites account for the rest, PureColo St John SJ1 with three networks and Equinix SJ1 with none recorded. Both cities have an exchange, though they are far apart in size. CANIX Moncton has 10 participants and CANIX Saint John has one, which means Saint John networks that want to peer generally do it outside the province while Moncton networks have a local option.
An IP address labelled New Brunswick carries the address registration its operator filed, which is a claim about paperwork rather than a reading of where the device is. Mobile traffic complicates it further. Bell (AS36522), Rogers (AS18475, AS20453, AS36676), Telus (AS14663) and Freedom Mobile (AS20365, AS36273) aggregate subscribers behind gateways that cover more than one province, so a handset connected in Moncton can present an address that databases place elsewhere, and a block registered to Saint John can carry sessions that started outside it.
Checking the origin ASN and the netname on the exact prefix answers more than a city field does. New Brunswick's records are thin enough that this is quick work, 18 network presences and 11 peering networks across the whole province, so the set of ASNs you will run into is short. A prefix from one of the mobile ASNs above says the connection is mobile; it says little about which town the subscriber was standing in.

Questions
How many data centres are in New Brunswick?
Three appear in the snapshot. Fibre Centre in Moncton is the busiest with 15 networks, PureColo St John SJ1 in Saint John lists three, and Equinix SJ1 in Saint John lists none. Together they account for 18 network presences across the two cities.
Is there an internet exchange in New Brunswick?
Two are recorded. CANIX Moncton has 10 participants, so networks there can exchange traffic locally. CANIX Saint John has one participant, which is not enough for peering, so networks in Saint John hand traffic off outside the province or carry it to Moncton.
Can I get an IP address in New Brunswick?
That depends on the operator, not on a customer's request. Addresses geolocate to New Brunswick when the operator registered them there, and the mobile networks in the province, Bell, Rogers, Telus and Freedom Mobile, register large blocks that cover wider territory. Read the origin ASN and the netname on the prefix rather than the province label.
