Any real LEB's in Oceania/Australasia?
I've seen a few LEB's here and there hosted in Australia, but they're all very expensive compared to US/EU LEBs.
Does anyone know about any real LEB providers?
Also, seen Web24's offer, costs too much after the 6 mo/ and I'm only after a couple of 512MB boxes.

If you do find one it will probably have like 5gb of bandwidth.
@_@ USE GOOGLE SEARCH
@Cirium True haha, I'm having a hard time finding any decently priced VPS in Australia
RansomIT in Australia - @Oliver
Everybody gets a VPS from LA / San Jose for that purpose like Southeast Asians.
Generally, yes unless you do need ultra low latency. It's still >150ms from LA.
+1
There's Oliver as stated earlier. Exigent is slightly out of LEB pricing, but that's another cheap one. OneProvider had a great 75% off sale on their VPSs which can be created in Sydney, but they haven't done that again.
or you can try OneAsiaHost - they have very good connectivity in Asia and most of the Australian providers have pipe to Singapore
Sad that this is true...
Although it's probably all I'll be needing, probably 5 to 10GB. I've never actually understood why Australian bandwidth is so damn expensive...
200~300ms for me...
I would like a geographically close server w/ low latency.
Australian provider test IP's I have tested range from 20~60ms.
You don't think I would've done that before posting? Also, do read what I said...
"I've seen a few LEB's here and there hosted in Australia, but they're all very expensive compared to US/EU LEBs."
I've obviously failed to find any cheap LEBs in Oceania, so this is why I've posted.
$15/quarter for 192/256MB?
Thanks, but I'm kind of looking for a cheaper server than that.
Exigent is looking pretty good, thanks.
Sounds like TPG
- anything that goes through PIPE has a higher latency due to how it physically routes.
iiNet -- Perth, WA
Most connections to US servers go via Sydney over Telstra, but could be PIPE or AJC.
Do you think SEA-ME-WE 3 would offer a better route?
Couple of traceroutes:
nexthop.wa.iinet.net.au => .. => xe-3-3-0-0.syd-ult-core1.iinet.net.au => unknown.telstraglobal.net
Most connections to US servers go via Sydney, out via Telstra.
Ah Perth. iiNet do a mix of Southern Cross and Telstra due to Internode's help. Telstra can be terrible at times.
Regarding Australia
RansomIT - http://www.site24x7.com/public/z7eRzNw65cNx2O7a502bVtStMMsYs+EltnSglwDYr7Ur1BXVZJK/4alEjgmvOljx.html
Exigent - http://www.site24x7.com/public/z7eRzNw65cNx2O7a502bVtStMMsYs+EltnSglwDYr7WtHCptJkAJbLyzC3cHPXPG.html
And tell me again that Exigent is better than RansomIT
Telstra's Business ADSL has actually proven to be pretty good - for me at least.
(Although at a cost.. but they're still much better in comparison to iiNet)
Exigent is cheaper
And who is to say that they aren't blocking IP's that continuously ping their website every 10 minutes?
@Andre - the test which I've attached are just single ping, I'm not monitoring them. To be honest for our DNS node in Australia we picked different provider (not LET/LEB for sure
). Anyway as far as I know Exigent is limiting the port speed. You can ask @Oliver for some custom quote, also take a look here
Thanks, but (dare I say it) I've bought an Exigent VPS.
Doesn't bother me too much if the port speed is being limited, I'm after a low-latency box for testing of a new web app.
