Congratulations to a practically singlehomed HE link. Anything above 1.5$/Mbit for it in Asia is overpriced, and considering this ends in US it better be free.
@William thats the intention. It's a HE test IP.... I'm seeing how many people have HE peering/transit.
Here you got some from south-east:
https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/10099909/#!probes
If it's available, is be surprised if they didn't have it. It's just too cheap to say no to
. I mean it's crap, especially in Asia, but it's getting better. More and more pops, more isps and hosts connecting... But for some places, they are still shit.
@randvegeta shit due to congestion or shitty routes? Which places?
A bit of both.
@Multi Thanks I've got atlas covered.
And Australia in south east Asia? I know there are alot of Asians here but...
As he said: Both. Sometimes one worse, sometimes the other.
As sole transit for Asia, both in Asia and outside Asia for Asians, HE is utterly useless. It NEEDS to be combined with something of higher quality. HE, at the least, is good for Asian exchanges but anything more should be weighted strongly if worth the hassle.
@William: Opinionated as always
Of course this is being combined with transit both Domestic and International.
Although if I can get HE peering at a small additional fixed cost I'd rather use it where the route quality would be similar as the transit is quite expensive...
Yes this is obvious :-).
I would describe HE.net bandwidth as like a beater car! Cheap, gets the job done, and useful in a pinch. But you don't want it to be your only car. It's the car you use when your main car is in the shop, or if you need to use the other car for something else.
It's a great ADDITION to your network, and having it has been invaluable on certain occasions. Great for backups, and helping with load balancing, and cheap enough to not care too much about.
@randvegeta Arent analogies fun
I guess my main concern is in regards to detrimental latency / loss that could result from having that route available. I'm sure there are other people like me looking to cut the cost and who have HE routes as well.
Unfortunately to compound this HE have no communities for traffic engineering, it's either ON or OFF.
