Linode opening up in Singapore and Germany

Just saw this on their feed.

Yes, I know they are a bit over the the $7 price point but for what they offer $10 is still a very good price.

  • Dschöööörmany! That will be perfect for something I have in mind..

  • I really hope some cloud service starts business in the south American region. Here the prices of VPS and pretty much all computing power is super overpriced worse than Australia for example

    Bandwidth in/out of SA needs to improve first.

    I'm not paying $39,000 USD per month for a 100Mbps line with 10Mbps commit as a provider.


    Edit: Thanks to @William for showing there are some non-dedicated options in SA.

  • I researched a lot of options for EDIS and other providers, talked with the large telcos in nearly all countries and a lot of smaller ISPs as well.

    Pricing in Central America (You cut right under Panama) was ~10$/Mbit (30$/TB). Pricing in Brazil ~15$/Mbit (with "tax" 20$), Chile ~25$, Argentina ~25$. Other countries are more expensive, especially Peru, Bolivia and Colombia - Still far under 50$/Mbit though (which is the going rate in Africa).

  • @William said:

    Which carrier(s) should I be in contact with to organize that? The best price I got before now was the one in my above post (the quote where someone clearly added an extra zero from the figures you're giving me.)

    Also how do the commits work in SA, is there actually enough international bandwidth to sustain getting an aggregate bandwidth of 10Ge between NA and SA? (The international cable map doesn't show me much in South America with figures.)

  • There is more than enough BW to Europe and NA available, aggregates of 40GE waves to major cities in SA are not rare anymore, Brazil is stepping up to 100GE waves with government investments. Largest provider is Telmex (and sub companies in nearly any SA country except Brazil and Venzuela) - They don't deal with small sales (sub 5-10 racks and 200Mbit+) however unless you know someone higher up.

    Sorry, not giving away too much knowledge for free - I need to eat as well.

    I also noticed that the backup pricing on the $10 Linode is now $2.50, I am sure that was higher previously.

    I joined Linode in May and it's been 25% since.

    Cool, not used the backup option on recent linodes I have spun up.

  • LeeLee Veteran

    Indeed and a backup elsewhere should be a given, however for the cost it's convenient to have the backup enabled. It's going to be quicker to create a new Linode using the last backup.

    If there are not 3 copies or your data it does not exist! :P

    that's good news .
    I will replace DO in Singapore with Linode in next month.

  • what's DO

  • DO is Digitalocean :D

    Looks like Linode SG will be served out of this AS: http://bgp.he.net/AS10026
    Test IPs 139.162.0.1 and 2400:8901::2
    of course maybe not all peering is set up yet, so pings/traces may change.

  • Interesting, first Linode DC where they get their own IPs in Asia (JP was KDDI Space, this is a /16 legacy from RIPE)

    Pacnet IP Space are very expensive when we first started in there. Maybe things has changed now.

    Routing is definitely not optimal. Pacnet peers heavily with Cogent and Hurricane Electric :( Limited routes through Asia but lets hope there is substantial private peering. Recent fibre cuts via AU <-> SG may also come into play. Alternative route would be through Hong Kong (which is not evident with Pacnet)

    Apparently, Pacnet has peering to Equinix Singapore, Equinix Hong Kong and HK-IX. All we can do is wait and see if the route will be adjusted.

    Telstra (major ISP in Australia) has also purchased Pacnet. http://www.smh.com.au/business/telstra-buys-pacnet-for-856-million-20141223-12ckor.html
