There is no official announcement from DigitalOcean yet, but they registered a new ASN last month.

They had registered a new ASN approximately 4 months before open Frankfurt region, too.
Telia, Tata, some Tor-IX peering with a few larger players, not on the route-servers yet.
Good find.
Nice! I always love to host my data in Canada.
Will be interesting to see what DC this is in.... if it's even for customer use.
KInd of expected, after they started charging Canadian sales tax.
@cocooha and again, sorry to disappoint but you don't earn anything from people loading your affiliate links as 1 pixel images.
@rm_ I was wondering what those fucking dots were on my screen.

Woo! A Canadian DC finally
@jar so to celebrate more work for you, you'll hand out a couple of credit vouchers, amirite?
I'll actually be in town during those dates. @Jar you heading north to party?
Nah I've had my share of traveling for a few months. You should totally go and meet up with the team though. I can't think of one person I work with that I wouldn't call awesome
OK, now... Any benchmarks?
I'd wait a while for it to stabilize, no doubt everyone is benching the hell out of the nodes.
Should look a bit like Frankfurt
Yeah, makes sense :P
Ah, cool. Should wait for you to give us a few coupons then. Ahah!
Time to LUNCH eh LAUNCH a new TOR Relay in TOR1.
There's always one...
OVH to TOR: 8-9ms using Torix
From local ISP backbone MTL to TOR: 14ms via TATA
Bench of 512mb plan:
The Tor Community finally got its own datacenter.

This is awesome! Thanks for making this happen DO! Is this new DC safe from Patriot Act data requests? I seem to recall that for certain applications and in certain provinces that there needed to be some sort of organization/company requirements to comply. Is the fact that it's on Canadian soil enough to satisfy these privacy requirements?
Wow. Nice speeds in that download test...

DO is a US company, so none of their DCs are safe.
Hmm k, now i questioning @dediserve for their next Canada location ;p
Wow.... not bad
Got this by email
The Patriot Act (and other similar US legislation) extends to anywhere a US corporation has a presence. So the Digital Ocean clouds in Europe, Asia and Canada would fall under US law for Patriot, Privacy, DMCA, etc, etc.
As a non US Corp, our non US locations are specifically not under any of those.
One has to wonder how much VC money DO has left at this point.
