Serious question how many YABS can I run with 125GB bandwidth

If you drop the Invoice number in the comments for sure double.

Waiting $7/year in Taipei.
(512MB OK)

forest · January 10

Even for Taiwan with a China-optimized network, that's very little bandwidth.

Can you drop a promocode that makes it $12 a year and I'll consider it

Bandwidth in Taiwan is extremely expensive. I believe these are the cheapest VPS deals on the market in the Taiwan region at the moment. 1500 GB of monthly bandwidth for $8.33/mo or $99.95/year.

ois · January 10

I'm very interested in Taiwan's VPS. Could you confirm if routing to Hinet is guaranteed? Currently, connectivity to Hinet appears to be excellent.

I am curious about the fact that its so expensive but can you tell me why this is the case in particular if I may ask? Why its so expensive, any specific particular reason

China-optimized routing.

Most Chinese internet traffic is internal (China to China), so the amount of peering from China to the outside world is very small. There are few IXPs that do it, so bandwidth is limited. It's not uncommon to see a host give you cheap 100 Mbps unmetered traffic in Taiwan or Hong Kong, and charge an arm and a leg for an extra 10 Mbps when it peers directly with China.

When it's not optimized for China, the traffic will be taking a really roundabout path to get there, with many hops visible on traceroute (and the associated higher latency). When it is optimized, you get a more direct connection and lower latency, but now you're paying to have a small slice of that direct-to-China pie.

How about metering the network usage based on destination?
For example,

10 GB/month to China Telecom and China Unicom
50 GB/month to HINET
4000 GB/month to other regions

Invoice #24160. I paid via USDT but the invoice is still showing as Unpaid—could you please take a look?

Also, I'd love to get that Double Bandwidth bonus. Thanks!

That's what you'll often get when you're buying wholesale (although unlimited traffic but you're charged by the GB). For a provider, it makes less sense to complicate things like that, but that's likely how they (or their upstream) are paying.

Fun fact: There's an IP DSCP field for "lowest cost" which routes datagrams through the cheapest peers when feasible.

Can monthly payment be supported？

Feels like maybe just a little over 10 times?

Also, the recent Taiwan submarine cable disconnection seems quite serious: https://smc.peering.tw/ . I found that the packet loss rate to China via https://ping.pe/tw-test.softshellhosting.com is a bit high.

As for optimization, I did some research, and it seems that only China’s CMI has some optimization. The other Chinese carriers, CT and CU, are more average. When it routes to Hong Kong, it connects to TPIX-TW in Taiwan, so the connection to greencloud'hk vps is much better, with a latency of around 10ms to 13ms.

cm1818 · January 10

Is there any Chinese optimization for the route?

Hello! Yes majority of bandwidth in Taiwan transit via HiNet. You can try out network test: tw-test.softshellhosting.com

Could you half then quadruple my bandwidth ?

seems not China optimized server, 100-300 ms ping from China

BreakaWD · January 11

From the looking glass it doesnt seem like the server is either optimized for Hinet or China Telecom.
