As I posted the above...
@Calin
Upload also appears to be recovering:
**DARK MAGIC RULES **
Magic
Afaik STOR-1 but if you tell me how to find it out (where in the panel) I'll look it up, though not today anymore.
It appears the upload speed issue has been fixed. Even my own boxes across all nodes are pushing 200-300Mbps upload
I'm happy.
I can confirm that, just came back from there and it was an very beautiful city.
Pretty good place to buy a house or piece of land for the future.
Maybe @Calin can give me some housing tips ?

Go on Orastie city!!!
@mikewazar you called it too soon, everyone in Discord is reporting the global 100 Mb/s packet flood has returned.
Did you also went to Transalpina ? here you can pretty much see the whole milky way, probably the most special place i have seen.
I was both the person that called it fixed first and the person who picked up it started again…
I posted a Hetrixtool public monitor on Discord so people can look at it themselves
Unfortunately not, I went with my college mates with a rented minibus and a predetermined route. Unfortunately Transalpina was not included but I managed to see Transfagarasan this year and I recommend it.
24/7 support. But support done be the clients
. First time I see this...
LowEndSupport is nomore just a joke
@balramm It's been like 4 days, we need status update. Do we praise CB even more, we stay on the same 'woah, crazy' line or it's time to find mooooar pitchforks!?
There is a true love between you and pitchforks i see.
Curious: In the screenshot @Calin says he wanted to save money for colocation.
Wasn't the purpose of the at-home DC because... colocation costs? Are you moving stuff to a colocation facility now?
I guess the Maths is no longer Mathing. Maybe he did not add up all the costs involved in running a basement DC vs colocation?
From my convo with Calin (public, in Discord) he plans to move to colo yeah
Best to ask @Calin himself instead of assuming why he's changing things up.
@MannDude
Ah okay, cool. I enjoyed watching the home DC build / progress. I think most of knew it wasn't sustainable long term but am interested in seeing how things pan out and wish him luck.
It's a weird wave. Basement DC wins until X kW deployed gear, then it actually generally makes more sense to go colo/cage until YYY kW, which it then makes sense to go back to 'basement' DC (aka build your own purpose-built datacenter) at Z MW.
Of course, that's based on lowest-cost pure infrastructure only. Value to be had so you can sleep at night is always worth something, and the whole equation with employees/getting into 'maintenance' of facilities outside of your direct industry, etc.
I don't get why a network upstream change can't happen before moving colo. There's no timeline on the colo (literally could be a year from now?)
Meanwhile:
@jsg you able to test something for me?

In order to change an ISP in Romania, you have to make a minimum 24-month contract, besides that it is a maximum bureaucracy and separate fiber routes should be drawn similar at our actuall ISP , again, at the moment we have our own resources, hardware, space where we keep the servers, even the fiber to the nearest backbone of our ISP, to change the current ISP would cost thousands of euros, and it would not be profitable for an investment for a maximum of 2 months

Because where he is, there is no physical way to push more bandwidth.
Orange is a Retail provider, they can do business net, but only in DataCenter or in some zones, definitely not in a country-side. And the city he is in, ~20.000 people, that is country-side.
So the colo move timeline is 2 months?
And yes, what @Calin also wrote, the charge you with a 24mo contract at each change, unless you tel them to fuck themselves as what they promised it does not work. I will urge calin to learn not to be polite with ISP, as 90% of the time they cannot deliver.
We usually ask for a test line before we sign a contract, and we stipulate if they cannot do 80% of max promised, we end the contract on sight.
You misunderstood what I said.
There are other providers (but Calin has explained a 2yr min contract...), and performance to them is literally >100x better but only via speedtest. I'm going to try and obfuscate my traffic to see if the upstream is shaping certain traffic because compare the below:

Yes , recently we investment lot of money in new hardware (we don't want our DDr3 hardware on our colocation) old hardware what usage lot of U per rack
In same time costs for colocation it's expensive for first time , we need pay:
1k$ installation fee for configure router and network and other things
1.4-1.5k euros for router
600-700 euros for caddy server (150+ caddy)
shipping servers it's approx 600-700 euros , because the servers are heavy and long, we are talking about servers with 27 bays, more professional people are needed to help manage them and move them physically
Rails it's approx 600 euros
Other urgent costa approx 800 euros
And pre-paid colocation for minimum 3 months in advance that cost for now approx 1600 euros
In order to collect the money for these things, we did the following:
We reduced the physical number of servers and moved clients with dedicated servers to VPS, or purchased newer generation servers with a higher capacity of storage/ram
We reduced the number of IPv4, and at the same time we reduced the abuse reports to 0 when it comes to certain activities
We have started to move all customers who will be colocated to the same vLAN for easier management and to give up multiple internet contracts

Calin
