    Congrats on MEL! Does this platform upgrade include the ancient AUD15/quarter plans?

    Oh wait I just checked my CPU type... :lol:

    @trewq = do you envisage the the MEL location will fill up and become unavailable like it has in the past?

    You’ve got a good deal with some of these old plans. There are still a few people riding the $1.97/m for 512MB that got a free upgrade to the 2GB plan.

    I expect stock to always be available from here on out at all locations unless there is a surge in demand but more stock wouldn’t be far away.

    I’m aiming to add at least one new location a year with more features in the pipeline.

    I agree completely re: the old plans, I almost want to buy the new ones because I'm convinced you're running the old ones at a loss and I don't want you to go broke! :)

    Sounds great re: availability + expansion, wish FlowVPS all the best for the future :)

    Hi, most of the tests you provided are in completely different regions and the results are as expected with default Linux config with window size and buffers due to the latency.

    I would think singapore to be better as this looks like we're going across the Southern Cross cable to the states... Then to Japan then to Singapore (and maybe Hong Kong as a intermediary)...

    This i think would maybe raise an eyebrow ;)
