IP Transit vs DIA in Brazil

IP transit is for networks that announce their own prefixes over BGP; DIA is for organisations that just need internet access at a site. Transit assumes you have an AS number and IP space. DIA gives you a committed, symmetric port with an SLA and no routing responsibility.

If you are asking which one you need, it is almost certainly DIA. Transit becomes the answer when you run your own AS and want control over how traffic leaves.

Brazil connectivity delivered by a neutral multicarrier operator. We map every route available at your address and come back with price, lead time and SLA.

The short version

Both put you on the internet. The difference is who owns the routing. With IP transit you announce your own prefixes over your own BGP session and decide how traffic enters and leaves. With dedicated internet access the provider owns the addressing and the routing, and you get a clean circuit without the machinery.

Side by side

How to tell which one you need

Ask whether you have, or intend to have, your own ASN. If the answer is no, the question is settled — transit is not purchasable without one, and DIA is what you are describing. If the answer is yes, ask whether you need more than one upstream. Multihoming is the reason transit exists.

The expensive mistake is buying DIA when the business plan calls for transit within the year, because the migration means new addressing, new contracts and renumbering everything you deployed.

In Brazil specifically

Transit is cheapest and fastest to obtain in São Paulo, where the carrier and exchange density is highest. DIA is available almost everywhere, but the price and the lead time are decided by the building, not the city. For a foreign company, both run into the CNPJ requirement before either becomes a technical conversation.

Send us the address. We are carrier-neutral, so we map every route that can actually deliver there and come back with price, lead time and SLA — normally within two business hours. No CNPJ required to start.
