Good work! Now to update the location map on the website :-)

How unlimited is it?

They rent/lease space in data centres, like Equinix. DO don't build their own facilities.

Maybe it's just referring to the greek mythology now? :-)

Welcome to 7 months ago.

NTT and Tata are both in Singapore, but clearly aren't peering or connected there, instead choosing to go to the UK and back. Madness, but not uncommon, it's not hard to stop trombone-ing traffic if you're a global IP provider. Anyway, TATA are present at Equinix Singapore and HKIX, so my...

CT/CU you can either go direct at extortionate $ or use communities via your upstreams to try get whatever is working best on a given day. CT/CU willingly congest links for long periods of time, and do other evil things like equal cost BGP load balancing over links with end points in different...

Yeah correct, that's why I suggested it's probably good for DO to connect there locally via a tail from Singapore.

DO in Singapore should peering to the Equinix IX, that would be a decent option. Another good option is to grab a circuit from Singapore to Hong Kong (around 30ms away) and peer at HKIX as a start.

Have a look at route announcements from AS1221, AS7474, AS7545, AS4739/4802 who are probably the largest AU ISPs in order. The results I pasted were from the above providers looking glass options. In terms of traffic out of AU to Asia, the submarine cable routes available result roughly in...

Some traceroutes from various AU ISPs http://pastebin.com/KSHnEfxK I'd say mostly speaking SFO is still a better option for AU. As per a comment earlier in the thread, Asia is hard from a connectivity point of view, it's a big place with lots of challenges.

Yeah definitely still single homed. Unfortunately just about all Australian ISPs seem to haul to the US to connect to Telia, so latency is double just getting to West Coast of US. Hopefully some connectivity with NTT or Asian peering comes online which should make a difference.

Test IP available for AZ and NL?

A /22 is now being announced under that AS, currently only has Telia as the upstream. Hopefully that changes as Telia isn't exactly optimal as least for Australia, not sure how well connected they are around Asia. Given DO use NTT in other places, hopefully they'll add NTT or similar in for...

Fastmail.fm is the alternative I use :-)

Chinese carriers often run massively congested transit and peering links, this results is varying performance depending on the time of day/year/source/destination. Asia is a massive place, as you've said it needs careful route optimisation, far more so than other geographies.

There are benchmarks on the website, not sure if it helps. The VPS feels pretty snappy.

Would you offer this plan in LA? It's about 40ms closer to Australia :-)

Month to month is my preference, for VPS or shared. I find too many hosts nose dive later on, leaving you wishing you didn't have to stick with them because you've paid for another 5 months.
