## FAQ

### What makes the Telnyx network different from other CPaaS providers?

The Telnyx network is a fully-owned, purpose-built set of multi-cloud points of presence (PoPs) interconnected by a private MPLS fiber backbone. Where other providers’ networks rely on aggregators, single point-of-failure cloud providers, and public internet links, our network guarantees better quality and availability.

For AWS and GCE, you have the option of creating the primary connection first and the secondary connection later. You also have the option of disabling the primary and/or secondary connections at any time and later re-enabling them. With Azure, you do not have this option. Azure requires both the primary and secondary connections to be created at the same time and they can not be independantly disabled.
