DigitalOcean to add Singapore Region by the end of January

[wcypierre]

Although there's NTT now, routing is still kind of bad as I'm getting 30 ~ 40 MS local...

does it still routes through japan?

 

[GIANT_CRAB]

does it still routes through japan?

No, it routes to HK then routes to Singapore again.

Jokers or something.

From SG to SG going fully around the globe!

some of it is really wacky, ntt has some rerouting happening yesterday they fixed up for us while I was sleeping.   We were expect some strange routing but not this much rerouting around singapore for other reasons.    We'll tighten it up, we hate latency also

Friday night local time it'll start to get better as eqix gets added, we still have some others but they look to be longer away and we're working on getting them expedited..

 

[accident]

Some of the public peering is in (eqix) so there is some improvements.    Something interesting, the Australian providers with ntt based on their route servers and looking glasses have a direct line to singapore but they are sending to japan instead.    not too many options for us to push them away from japan yet but it's in their power to route better to ntt learned singapore routes with minimal effort on their part.

Yes they could, but there's only one cable that's active/complete between Australia and Singapore (SEA-ME-WE 3) which is used for pushing traffic throughout Europe and Asia, so it doesn't make sense to push more traffic just for one landing...

SEA-ME-WE_3 also has a limited capacity (960Gbps) for 39 different landings. Where as to Japan, there's the choice of two cables (PPC-1 and AJC), boasting higher capacity and cheaper rates.

Now this may change in 2015 when the new cable/s are finished between Australia and Singapore, but until then I doubt they'll change their routing due to cheaper rates (to Guam/Japan) and SEA-ME-WE_3's limited capacity.

Zero downtime whatsoever since the 1st day they launched.
