It's encrypted, throughput and stability is generally higher than Wifi. If you can go cable that would be ideal but otherwise try Powerline > Wifi.

Why not considering Powerline Ethernet?

Not appearing on the IPv6 peer list doesn't mean they don't have Cogent. HE relies on BGP table feeds from other networks to build their data, and they just don't happen to have a BGP feed from someone that has primarily Cogent on IPv6, which is understandable since I'd say every other network...

If you really know what you're doing, you would have avoided showing off your datacentre or network uplinks as your advantages here, they aren't. With the kind of setup you have, your target audience should be local small businesses that don't need high bandwidth but need either near physical...

One advice coming from someone in the hosting business for 15 years and dabbled in LE sector for 2 years. The people who pay you the least, expect the most service/support. Charge reasonable prices for your service and keeping it stable/reliable will get you more positive feedback over the long...

I have an enterprise customer who I had to push to Cloudflare because they were taking multi-gigabit attacks and refuse to pay for DDOS filtering in Singapore (I don't blame them, prices are...). That's about 4 months ago, so far so good, on the $200 plan. Servers are still with us, everyone's...

Just my 2 cents: If Aldyric/Fran has/had any magic power in LE*, LE* would never have been sold to CC. Aldyric has almost always been dickish in public, especially when deal with accusations. I can imagine him going apeshit when BuyVM was accused of network issues in the earlier stages. Fran...

Well, L3 is expensive so, easiest way is to use it as paid peering. Of course tweaking the BGP communities is a whole different story. I heard the same things about HK, stories about how quite a number of hosting providers picked up HE and their HKIX link is congested. Interestingly I did get...

/me takes Cogent/HE's $x 1G quote to L/N/T, I want 1G at this price L: GTFO, you can't compare us with them we sell "quality" bandwidth N: We can do $2x T: We'll do it at $1.5x * Waits till end of the year * /me takes Cogent/HE's $0.8x 1G quote to L3/NTT/Telia, I want 1G at this price L...

1G has been at US$5 since early 2013 from tier-1s if you know the right people, it's not surprising. The problem is, how many providers in Asia are using anywhere close to 1G or can sink US$5000/month on bandwidth alone for a new deployment with $0 revenue? Doesn't help that it's impossible to...

I have some spare hardware for a 14TB server on RAID6. Considering between setting up OS mirror or Sourceforge mirror, since the closest sourceforge mirror in southeast asia seems to be Taiwan or Australia.

I had a 24TB capacity internal mirror box couple of years back. Loaded in everything that looked useful, including debian/ubuntu cd archives. Justification was that it took too long to download ISOs in those days, having an internal mirror means ISOs were immediately available whenever a...

FreeBSD slowly moving away from mirrors to Amazon for updates (portsnap/freebsd-update). HK/JP/TW have universities hosting mirrors with plenty of bandwidth. I'm on freebsd-mirror list and run an internal FreeBSD mirror which I myself barely use anymore. I end up mainly downloading ISOs from my...

Anyone has suggestions to sell or use pure outgoing bandwidth (to Internet)? I have quite a bit of outgoing capacity from Singapore that's unused and already paid for. Incoming capacity fully used, so VPN usage is out of the question. CDN already considered, but people probably want US/EU hosts...

I stopped providing KVM VPS completely over time and only retained existing customer. Main reason, dealing with CPU/IO abuse and customers who refuse to admit they are using sufficient resources to warrant a dedicated server. I used to charge more for KVM, and still profit wise it's nowhere near...
