I'm happy to do some traceroutes on my discovery if anyone has queries whether they improved the routes
Sydney
IP Transit: Telstra and more on their way
Internet Exchange: Equinix IX, IX Australia, more on their way
Private Peering: in study
Singapore
IP Transit: TATA and more on their way
Internet Exchange: Equinix IX, SGIX coming in few days.
Private Peering: we already are in contact with few ISP
Ahh... so you are getting better connectivity, looked at peeringdb and scrolled at the list, saw two that are in Asia..
Ugh.. keep mixing up the names... meant something else
I'm hosting an OVH dedi in Singapore for some time now. Few weeks ago the latency from Europe increased to 300 ms. I opened a ticket, no response. This week the latency increased from 300 to 500. I opened another ticket, took 7 days for them to respond and they told me the latency should be 180 ms but it doesn't matter for me because according to them I'm not hosting an OVH server in Singapore. So now I have to wait another 7 days for response, if they respond at all.
Yeah if we check the traceroute, currently it goes from EU via the US then Australia and only then SG.
"This is due to urgent maintenance by the supplier on the C2C cable between the Philippines and Japan." http://travaux.ovh.net/?do=details&id=29233 http://status.ovh.net/?do=details&id=15255
As for why EU-SG link is not used:
"Link between Marseille and Singapor is down: more latency towards the Singapor's datacenter. The operator is working on the link. No recovery time planned for the moment." http://travaux.ovh.net/?do=details&id=29110
So if it helps to know, they are aware but largely can't do anything to fix it right now. Maybe only plan for more redundancy in the future. From your side you get the typical OVH support experience, as in, generally it works well, but when it doesn't, it can be like this. It's take it or leave it, i.e. wait for the fix, or cancel and get a server with a different host.
The fact that the french CEO can't even spell the country's name correctly will make you think twice about their presence in Asia.

Getting reliable cables across the world's busiest shipping and fishing channel is crazy complicated. Just be happy that it works at all when it does
I guess that's the French way to say Singapore.
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapour
Wikipedia is not a reliable source.
Yes, you're correct. It was actually meant to be a sarcasm.
Sure, but that's not my point. At least you can Google it yourself that Singapore has other names: Singapour, Singapura,
@NanoG6 No, Singapore is Singapore. The other variants are just some language stuff. Just like the Malaysian and Indonesian called them Perancis but technically the country's ISO name is still France.
Ok, I'm done here. I started to sound like some kid debating. Hahaha.
Yeah I meant that, sort off
Anyone know If they are good for commercial use?
I'm using ovh from hostdoc,
indonesia, malaysia below 20ms
hongkong around 40-60ms
still good
Uptime is great. Routing has been fixed the times I requested it for clients, haven't had a complaint about anything for a while.
