Lumen or Cogent VPS in Dallas
Looking for a Lumen or maybe Cogent mainly VPS in Dallas preferably with good uptime and bandwidth (don't need a big port size, 1gbit is enough).
I'm moving my server in Dallas with Internap and unfortunately they seem to prefer to go over some IX's for +25 ping, so I'm looking for a vps with better connectivity to receive traffic and tunnel it to my server for problematic routes.
No Nexril as that is where I am moving from.

Maybe @oplink?
oops, seems they are in Spring, not Dallas.
Hello thanks but it needs to be in Dallas, and oplink seems to be in houston. Also forgot to mention that 1gbit port size is fine.
We have Cogent in Dallas if that is suitable for you.
Do you have a test ip? I tested cogent and surprisingly it has almost as good ping to london so maybe it is feasible but I want to make sure.
If you're not 100% set on Lumen, because you'll likely have a hard time finding this there, check my looking glass and see if it is suitable. In the old INAP DC in Dallas that's Evocative now, GSL upstream. If it works let me know what you need exactly and I can do something.
Hi Mike, sorry I already checked your LG. Unfortunately GSL doesn't have good routing in NA/EU it has +20 ping to seattle and +13 ping to london.
Ah, thought you were looking more for local connectivity.
It's for receiving packets from my other servers and then forwarding it to my dedicated in dallas.
Hello,
Here is the test IP:
154.3.40.6
I'd like to mention that GTT will be fine as well.
Any mixture of Cogent/GTT/Lumen in Dallas
No peering with Unitas/Internap
No Arelion, NTT, PCCW.
Maybe someone can help you here.

@bobert May I please ask why don't you just put your server somewhere with connectivity that you like? Best wishes! Tom
We use lumen and cogent. We have over 100G of bandwidth. We are just north of Houston. Try us out. We offer a 3 day money back.
Here are our active specials

You can count on 1 hand the number of providers in dallas selling new high end ryzens for less than 200/month. The routing on the host I picked is fine except for ping to 2 of my other servers.
Sorry this is too far for me. It is 6 ms away from my dedicated and ping to seattle is +13, so that would be +19 ms total.
I would also check out GTHost. They use Cogent and GTT.

Psychz has cogent, GTT and comcast in Dallas, Tier.net uses Psychz, a lot of smaller vps providers use Psychz or Tier.net in Dallas.
E.g. this one here should be on tier.net in Dallas: https://ping.pe/195.62.47.23
I know I am offtopic, but aren't you that arrogant guy who argued so vigorously with Europeans a few weeks ago because their servers appeared in a different country, cities 1300 kilometres away than the one they purchased?
Because an extra 15 - 20ms means nothing to you and so it shouldn't to them?
Lol, yes, that's him.
Ah, sorry, they seem to peer with both GSL and Unitas in Dallas, at least Tier.net peers with GSL on DE-IX Dallas, so that is no help.
I'm paying way more than $12/year for this setup. In fact over 100x more.
And the distance from sweden to hetzner finland is like 7 ms, not 15-20ms.
I still stand by my argument.
Try with Vpsdime
I tested psychz from digirp and it seems to be fine, it doesn't travel through unitas. But they told me it goes down more than pure cogent.
Here is our looking glass if it helps you

Of course you do. I mean your ego does.
I sort of despise people who believe it's okay and acceptable to be cheated and lied to as long as they don't pay much, but quickly change their argument when their own needs are at stake.
It's completely irrelevant how much you will pay for the BUDGET VPS you're searching in this thread. Houston is close to Dallas, but obviously, only your "few" pings are important, and all the others don't have their own specific needs that made them to buy VPS at a certain location, lol. Fucking hypocrite.
If you are paying $12/year for a vps and don't expect any corners to be cut, you have to take some of the blame as well.
And yet you're looking at a budget hosting forum for a VPS in Dallas, but god forbid it’s in nearby Houston, because that would mean 6ms more... Oh, boy...
There are a lot of providers in Dallas offering the same price or lower as Houston. Dallas is like the Amsterdam of this area. Not some random non-prime dc location like Vienna or Sweden.
Who is offering anything near $12/year in sweden?
If you are willing to pay normal market prices, you get to demand more. Simple as.
You're full of shit. As if a few bucks more or less justify lying to customers. Because that's exactly what you're defending. Lying to customers about the location isn't cutting corners, it's just what it is - lying (lying as cheating) to the paid clients.
And yet here you are on a budget forum, looking for a very specific location and complaining about a few milliseconds more from the nearest location.
I'll let you cry about 5ms more for now, but I'll be sure to poke you next time you spread your hypocritical bullshit in some random thread just because your personal requirements for a few bucks more or not even that are different.
