The best server for Singapore customer
I'm in Singapore and currently I use Linode London, but it looks for me that Linode in Hurrican Electric will work faster.
My tracert:

So what will be you suggestion? Maybe any other server?
By the way will it be easy to change linode server from UK to US? Thanks.

See which is the fastest.
For singapore I'd imagine it's Fremont.
Migrating from London to the US won't be quick since all your data has to go a looooooooong way, I can't remember if you can still clone a linode to another data centre, give it a go and find out.
@obs:
Have a go at downloading all of these a few times

Interesting, but it looks like London is the best for me.

Faremont rocks?
@obs:
You want to ping the linode servers not he.net, also run the downloads a few times during the day and work out the average.
As a result, I've migrated to Fremont.
Network path is shorter and ping is always faster.
Also this web-site from Fremont
New Tokyo DC beats all others. Hope it will also be more stable than Fremont DC.
