Yes, that is my fear as well, Sunnyvision had pretty bad reviews and i am not impressed with the VPS we have with them for testing now as well - Also pleas ekeep in mind that our connectivity will be even WORSE since Chinese networks update their prefix filter only once per year (01.01) so our IP range will likely be routed through the USA for more than half a year....
Serious?

Anyway, connectivity in Asia is not that cheap, maybe like $3/40 per Mbps. But glad that we've HE here:P have you considered them or at least get a quote?
IMHO, the best possible VPS in Asia is SL Singapore. There's no pricing difference between their Singapore location and any other locations, plus they've awesome network (yes they have telstra for Australia, NTT for Japan, TATA for India, Equinix everywhere and HKIX!

If you have the $$$$$$ I guess

What does mainland china look like to Sol One?
HE sells at 7$ / Mbit, does however not have much peering.
SL does not do colo.
@William
(As of SL) I understand, but considering is bandwidth it'sit a great deal.
How much is colo in Mega-i + x-con? Will it be 'more' doable in terms of price?
900EUR / Rack + 100EUR / MMR connect + Power (+ BW) = too expensive
(Just out of curiosity) is that a 'public price' (like those $1 offers posted on WHT)? And how large is minimum commitment in Asia?
Yes it's public @klikli.
I think I mentioned this before, their bandwidth is not local (SG), and definitely I won't say it's the best.
Need to decide soon.....
How about both?
If you have to pick one, there's a number of LEBs in Singapore (e.g. http://www.lowendbox.com/blog/expertvm-6-99-256mb-openvz-vps-in-singapore/ , http://www.oneasiahost.com/ ) but none that I know of in HK.
Yes, Commit is as usual 1Gbit minimum on a 1G port (Burst on 10G port is 10$/Mbit).
Keep in mind that if you buy HE in Asia you are entirely relieing on experimental technology (100G optics) - so handle with care.
Sure, if you pay....
Sigh, this is why I had the long post written about pricing of bandwidth in Singapore and how I felt it was difficult to push for a LEB service in Singapore. Even now I'm still doing my math and talking to vendors to see whether it can be sustainable in the long run before actually launching.
@William careful with the peering issue in Singapore if you head this way. None of the big 3 are willing peers.
lol william what is this? and I thought edis is ready to sell us some asia vps- turns out they are still picking a datacenter. there are some ping websites that can help you out
I think you do not see the problem here, since this advice is useless.
edis website already says HK by July? So HK then?
@William - maybe instead of Hong Kong or Singapore something like Hawaii or Guam (I'm looking on the http://www.cablemap.info/ map and pointing the locations)
HK is 99% sure since it was promoted and added already.
It will be done, likely with SunnyVision, but due to maybe issues i will not give my seal for quality of the BW on it.
Guam is even more expensive, Hawaii backhauls everything to the US.
@gbshouse the cablemap.info site is nice, unfortunately it doesn't list the land cables. Would be nice to have those too...
@William - what about Philippines?

@rds100 - take a look http://www.telegeography.com/assets/website/images/maps/asia-pacific-telecommunications-map-2012/asia-pacific-map-l.png
800$ (US!!) / Mbit....
@William - nice
Even if it was free, almost everyone just jumps straight on the same/another cable anyway without installing any local connectivity.
