|
|
Im in Australia and was ondering what would be the best data center for ping times to here? now I know I can ping myself, but my ISP may be routed in some weird way.
Anyone tried from many different ISP's in Australia?
I will need to setup a server in Australia at some stage as I do get some complaints of slowness, but I really want to stay with linode, I used to spend $600 a month for two dedicated servers here and I had nothing but trouble.... |

| Fremont is quite popular with Asia-Pacific oriented services. It's on the west coast and close to the major landing points for trans-Pacific cables. |

| It looks like the third post, but this one says "I know I can ping myself, but my ISP may be routed in some weird way." Apparently the three posters above me did not read the thread before replying. |

yep was just looking for other peoples experiences, There are at least 3 routes to the states from here.
I'm truly sorry for any mental anguish I may have caused:)
I think I will move most of my servers to Freemont.
Might look into cachefly or similar as well. |

+1 for Fremont. It has pretty good route from a few places that I've tested with (mainly from East Coast in Australia). I'm running a site on a Linode at Fremont with 3 million page views/month, 95% Australian traffic -- and no one has complained yet :)
Not sure about CacheFly though. They have only WAIX POP in Australia as far as I know (which means not accessible from anyone not on WAIX), and sometimes I'm getting weird routes to Japan. |

I'm in Melbourne, and based on tests through 3 different ISP's (Telstra Data Center, Internode home account and iiNet home account) Atlanta had the best speeds for me, so I've got 3 Linode's there. |
