    For example, I know a provider where this configuration would cost ~$45/2months in Singapore, but tickets are answered quickly and I try to do my best for the support experience to be good :)

    You don't need to stealthily describe it as a provider you know, buddy. It's on your signature

    Wow, this is definitely pretty rare. For example, I know a provider where this configuration would cost ~$45/2months in Singapore, but tickets are answered quickly and I try to do my best for the support experience to be good :)

    As for Virtono, from what I've heard their Singapore location was not affected by any unscheduled migrations or downtimes so it's good for now at least.

    If I dont mind tickets to be slow can I get the specs above on EPYC Turin in Singapore at A$45/yr price

    Sounds like a plan! I'm genuinely interested in that provider — perhaps it could even do a price match, and I'll jump on the wagon right away ;)

    Unfortunately any price match or unsustainable deal in Singapore is not possible at the moment. That would have to be like 86% discount from our side 🫣

    I get it might be expensive to idle, but if one has an actual use for such server, we are trying to deliver the best quality for the price we can.

    If you go to their Virtualizor panel, you'll see a bunch of Offline VMs without IPs. Those are the ones that they migrated.

    For me:
    Dallas is now Los Angeles
    Sydney is now Miami (same as OP)
    Warsaw is now Frankfurt
    Budapest is now Frankfurt
    London is now Manchester

    Very scummy, and I really feel bad for recommending them because, despite this nonsense scam, they were genuinely good for me.

    I'm requesting a refund for all these VMs (over 10) in a ticket. Let's see how it goes.

    Thanks for showing the magic geo/ip movement. I have not noticed that.

    would still not explain how Manchester is cheaper than London though

    From my perspective, I'd definitely imagine all the satellite hosting locations around the UK to be significantly cheaper than London.

    There may be some ISPs that can route within the UK, but every residential ISP I've ever used (from the Midlands) has always routed my traffic to London and then back out again, so I'd ballpark Manchester as being 4-8ms higher ping than London for almost everyone in the UK other than maybe universities or larger companies. For me, pinging a data centre about 2km from my house is higher latency than pinging my OVH server in France.

    Most international traffic also gets routed via London too, so I can't see any particular reason to locate a datacentre outside London except for cheaper land or for proximity to your company if being able to arrange physical access is desirable to you.

    EDIT: just to be clear, I'm sure there are some companies that have access to networks with decent trunk routing, just that none of the residential broadband suppliers I've tried have. However, I have had more optimal routing to universities from other datacentre locations.

    Yep, so much traffic goes through London due to how the submarine cables are connected from NJ/NY, USA to EU.

    I just saw this today, is this similar to buying tickets to Australia and landed in Austria?
