What about AWS? Its expensive but at least reputable
The closest you're going to get is Panama. I don't recall ever seeing anything further south.
http://www.crservers.com/ - Costa Rica.
http://www.offshoreracks.com/ - Panama.
http://www.edis.at/en/server/kvm-vps/chile/ - Chile (Austrian company).
All very good.
Thanks, I'll check them out.
Notably Offshoreracks routes EVERYTHING through CNServers in Portland, OR, US - Zero local connectivity.
host1plus has servers in Brazil?
I don't know if I'd trust them though.
I don't think that's true, they just use us for ddos protection for small part of their network, I'm sure they have local connectivity. Atleast I can tell their website is not routing through us, so I'm not sure where that "EVERYTHING" is from.
That must be a recent change, then. I admittedly haven't used them in a few months, but back then they had local connectivity.
which Brazilian provider would you recommend instead of host1plus?
Not true. They route to most of South America via Argentina.

My Host1Plus VPS in Sao Paulo has run very well for months. It's stable and the network is a lot better than what I experienced with EDIS (in Chile). It's also cheaper.
Not correct.
To Brazil: 2nd hop, Panama City, 3rd hop Sao Paulo
To Argentina: 2nd hop, Panama City, 3rd hop Santiago (Chile)
To Chile: 2nd hop, Panama City, 3rd hop Santiago (Chile)
You can also have a look at the network map for gblx (who was bought by Level 3)

Well if I could find a provider in South America, I'll let you know lol. Do you use Host1Plus?
@Isiah, yes the performance of their BR location is not so bad in my opinion. Benchmark tests on both of hostdime locations in Brazil were about the same as h1p
Already had one with H1P in germany. The smallest package, it was terribly slow.. Sure, what to expect. But even slower than a LES box or the 7$/year offer by VPSDime.
From what I see most of the few south american providers are basically usa providers with an affiliate or a DC there or whatever.
On top of that they seem to like playing games; getting something as simple as a test IP might turn into an adventure and the support people I had the dubious pleasure to meet were next to incapable.
Until Brasil has its own (planned) cable, evidently any and all traffic is routed through the usa anyway. Unfortunately some of the providers have, uhm, quite creative and nonsensical routing through half the usa before finally goingt through miami.
To top it off, prices are insane. Paying 50 us$ for a 512M OpenVZ with very modest bandwidth seems to be not exceptional.
Again, the planned cable might change that considerably but until then South America might - internet-wise - be well beyond Antarctica.
You mean this one
@rm_
Yep. Although I'm under the impression that there was also a cable planned to Europe (and, so I guess) then to Russia to close the circle.
And it's about time because right now South-America (internet-wise) is but an appendix to the usa.
yes, the planned cable will go from Brazil to Portugal, completely bypassing the NSA's abilities within the US (one of the key selling points in their design)
As if that would /truly/ keep the NSA out of anything. Solid waste of time and resources in my opinion.
(so to speak the NSA truly cares about Brazil)
Sure if you think Brazil is some backwater irrelevant third world country, they may not care. But wait until Brazil starts to compete with the USA in some global interests, and this will change.
Either way, having a cable not going through the usa is certainly a better basis and strongly desirable.
I'd agree with @Isiah for today insofar as Portugal is part of the eu which is under full nsa control. The same basically for the Portugal - Russia segment.
Where he is factually wrong though is that the nsa is interested enough in Brasil to run quite some (uncovered) operations. After all Brasil is not unsimilar in size and population and in a geostrategically enviable position (for South-America).
But then, things change. In fact, a lot is changing right now. And btw, cutting down from ~ 280ms to ~ 120ms isn't shitty either.
Friendly greetings to any South-Americans here
