Vultr Network Issues (Australia)

So for the past 7 days or so both of my vultr instances have been having a less than 'merry' time network wise.
About 2-3 times a day there have been 30 minutes to 2hr periods where both instances of mine would just cry and run to the nearest corner, (Huge pings, Lotta Packet loss, and Altogether unreachable).
Support tickets have been of little use, with a simple response 'we'll forward this to our network department' with no other responses 3 days after, at the point of which i'm now seeking compensation, but again the ticket is in a lacking of replies.
So, am i just an unlucky Aussie bastard, or is this happening to anyone else that is using vultr?
Comments
Yes, mine have been exactly the same too. It's insane with the bad support
No multihoming I guess
Or a RAID problem
I'm having the same issue. I'm with the ISP they are with, it must be Vultr internal networks.
Their line is probably just saturated and they don't have a second backup-line.
Yep, having issues with their Sydney instances. Running a couple of CSGO servers and it isn't pleasant at all, was just about to submit a ticket but I see theirs no point.
I assume there is a reason for outage but it's classified information?
hahahahahahaha
My friend from Aus just said he's downloading a torrent at 60mbps. He must be using all of Australia's bandwidth up, sorry guys.
Impossible, they're 10Gb/s multihomed in every location.
*Disclaimer: As advertised on their website.
why are you disclosing classified information ?
How could this happen? They're using Intel processors!
ayy lmao
Take a screenshot, it will probably last longer.
/ me sitting in the corner, laughing silently... Multihomed... Yeah.
To be fair multihomed doesn't mean much. One could be multihomed (dual homed) to Cogent and He for instance, or single homed to some quality upstream. Which one would you choose?
They are singles homed to internode as far as I'm aware. It's more than adequate for an Australian server.
Nobody can make the choice for themselves if it isn't advertised accordingly on the providers website.
Screw that, firenet all the way
CloudCommando will come to Sydney and I will not rest until it is done.
PS: I'm on Internode.
Vocus and Internode, that's a nice combo.
Out again.
It seems that Vultr no longer peers with Internode on their Sydney location. Only through Equinix and Vocus at the moment.
From Vultr SYD to Internode:
From Internode Perth to Vultr:
Perhaps AMD slipped one in?
Good point, however i think the hostility, in large part, stems from the assholish behaviour the owner displayed here and obviously providing false information on their website and being opaque/vague about it when pressed for an answer. But i guess the name of the hoster fits the owner.
On a related note is there a website which offers upstream provider tests and provides some sort of ranking between them? As far as i know it largely depends on where you use which upstream provider so there can be no clear cut ranking? Or in other words, how do you know if an upstream provider is a quality upstream provider(in the region where you intend to use it)?
Yeah, otherwise there would have been nobody nitpicking, except and odd customer now and then, but now we have dedicated people looking for flaws...
There was a news post about downtime in sydney and then a later post an hour later saying issues where resolved, which obviously had nothing to do with the network seen as the only reason i checked the news was because my instances where lacking in the connectivity department well after issues where 'Resolved'.
I am constantly seeing blips ranging from 5 to 15 minutes. Is anyone else seeing this or should I get a new uptime monitor?
What monitor are you currently using?
I'll put a Observium monitor on one.
Observium isn't a reliable means of monitoring uptime. Does it check from 2 locations?
I'll put my beta website monitoring on it then, it checks from 5 locations
