Thanks rm_
If at another dc, we may get unmetered, but in Singapore, bandwidth is expensive, so I just hope that they still take their words for it
Moved some comments from the other thread about this here.
280ms manila
Routing's pretty bad for Malaysia as well.
Using TM Leased line
Meanwhile my VPS with OAH
edit : goddamnit how do i use quote/code?
edit 2 : oh so that's how
From my office downtown in Marina Bay Financial Center still goes through Tokyo:
7 11 ms 14 ms 11 ms eqix-sg.sg.gs [202.79.197.159] 8 12 ms 12 ms 11 ms edge-2.v42.ntp.sg.gs [203.175.175.138] 9 13 ms 12 ms 12 ms core-2.v34.ntp.sg.gs [203.175.175.54] 10 11 ms 11 ms 12 ms ovz-01.oneasiahost.com [116.251.208.252]
I don't deny OAH having better route then DO however this quote is showing nothing, OAH is using sg.gs
Uh.. it shows that it doesnt go up to Japan and go down back to Singapore?
I am living in Australia and the routes for me is good. Just about 60ms. My ISP has a PoP in SG and has transit via NTT.
It looks like international routes is not the best as DO does not have local peering with multiple ISPs. Traffic only mainly flows from NTT and Telia.
Pretty terrible from Thailand. TH -> HK -> JP -> SG
My routing goes: UK -> FRANCE -> UK -> SINGAPORE

So... they're not multi-homed? Latest test results shows that it has to go through NTT.
@black still Telia + NTT.
Was excited to signup @digitalocean but because of the routing issues people reported, I am still considering...
Regardless of the routing issue, DigitalOcean's sg location is still a nice place though, you can still find a KVM vps with SSD for $5 per month at US or Netherlands, but it is pretty hard to find a vps provider out there at Singapore for a vps with $5/month with 512mb and SSD(OAH's 128mb kvm is $7 monthly).
Although, I wonder when will they peer with more SEA ISPs as they're not exactly fast on rolling out new features/fixing existing bugs and problems.
OAH no longer offer KVM.
I know, I'm just mentioning it for the sake of comparison(its better to compare vps that uses the same virtualization method, no?)
From China Telecom:
Japan NTT --> Singapore NTT 160ms
Simplercloud has the $10 for 1GB plan, but they do not seem to be interested in offering 512MB plan at all.
they had offered it before and it is a one time thingy, and I think that they won't offer it anymore since it is as what you've said, they are pretty reluctant on providing it(probably due to the IP costs and availability at Asia).
Not if one is no longer offered for sale and the wording implies it will never be available again.
Simplecloud network is truly horrible, like 5-10 Mbit/sec at most, to anywhere.
well, my comparison is made based on the point of the general pricing for a vps of such specs at singapore to imply that vps of such specs and price are not so easy to find, and not availability, so basically, that's that.
Specs and pricing wise no doubt the best! But if you worry bout performance and not pissing users of your service, I suggest you wait a bit till they fix the routing issue. I have a forum and some of my members in Australia and Philippines were complaining about "Super" slow loading when I switch to DO (2GB Ram droplet). Lucky i haven't terminated my OAH yet and reverted back to them. Im thinking of trying simplercloud, maybe they have good connectivity to my member base.
Btw I've emailed DO support about the bad routing, they said they will be fixing these coming weeks. Once network issue is fix i guess we can expect them to rule the Asia region.
I'm looking forward to this. Will get a speedtest vps there when they fix the routing
I'm deploying a new droplet at DO Singapore, and move my blog for testing. Ping results in 40ms which is quite fast, compared to OAH. While some local/Indonesian VPS Provider could achieve about 20ms.
103.253.144.1
traceroute
**ping **
128.199.255.139
traceroute
**Ping **
103.253.144.1 using less hop.
I assume because it's the gateway router, not a VPS on a node behind the router.
Do not use the 103.253.144.1 IP for testing anymore, as far as I can tell the end-user VPSes do not get IPs out of that range.
just got reply
so we chance get IP from 103.253.144.0 - 103.253.147.255 range
@tommy This doesn't confirm that the 103 range is even at all in distribution for VPS/droplet clients.
