Telia appears to be prioritized from almost everywhere local too.

Posted as screenshot because of @GIANT_CRAB's demands, you can blame him.

Oh, I totally didn't know that.

This must be the reason why you guys are smart enough to use telia for Asia.

You're such a smart cookie, let me ask you one thing, did he ever say the networking team has the final say in the financial side of things? Of course they'd love to get every possible provider and then some, but despite the popular opinion DO may in fact not have all money in the world, or have the desire to burn them by making that SG DC their loss-leader.

It's doing exactly what we put it in for.     equinix finished their fiber work so the other peers should be added shortly.

So is it actually possible to spin up an instance in SG yet?  If not, when are they actually planned for release to the public to use?

Curious as the topic of this thread says by end of January and its now February?

Cheers!

some press took Q1 as "end of jan" so it didn't take long until people were saying it'll be the end of jan.    It's really close, shouldn't be too many more days.

What Q1 are you talking about? The announced planned launch date was specifically End of January.

Point is, unless their Head of Product is also "some press", there was no "Q1" figure stated anywhere, the only communication we had mentions end of Jan.

if you don't want tickets from people asking why their new server is in Spain instead of Singapore.
