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...

I don't think anyone would have faulted you for using a default route setup when there's low bandwidth usage and what you did fit the business needs at that point of time. My point is that looking at the prices today and the amount of bandwidth I'd estimate CC doing, justifying the equipment...

EX4500 would be 12K FIB won't be sufficient, but I built my assumption that they still used the CIsco 6500 which should be able to do 200k FIB. But god this day and age if they're moving multi-10Gs, with the MX series at decent price point I don't see why they would need to cut corners on...

Single homed, sure default routing makes perfect sense. Now there's Telia + Cogent, doesn't make sense anymore (and I think previously L3?). One's a decent provider globally, the other is a decent provider within their own network only. Assuming there's no change in the equipment, all CC needs...

I used to have Foundry Bigirons as core routers that terminate VLANs for L2 TOR Foundry Fastiron switches. Great L2 performance, L3 completely iffy especially at high pps. Now switched to Juniper EX for L3 VLAN routing and HP/Force10 for cheap gigabit L2 with 10G upgrade if necessary in future.

That is NOT what multipath is for. Multipath load balances equal-path links and by default, only when the AS paths match exactly. As Francisco mentioned this is typically for balancing links with an upstream that you have multiple connections with at the same router to avoid bonding the ports...
