The best server for Singapore customer

hi guys,

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.

Have a go at downloading all of these a few times

http://www.linode.com/speedtest/index.cfm

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.

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

My results from Starhub:

London: 250 kB/s

Newark: 35 kB/s

Atlanta: 211 kb/s

Dallas: 200 kb/s

Faremont: 72 kb/s

quite interesting, download for Faremont doesn't work nice compare to London, but when I ping

Faremont rocks?

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 http://www.wopular.com/ works faster than mine in London.

Raised support ticket to migrate, clicked 2 buttons and now all my data migrating from UK to US - easy, this guys have top-notch service.

Hmm, hopefully Linode will get a datacenter in Asia (Singapore, Australia, that sort of thing), it'd really help the latency for people over there…

Just posted my results here:

New Tokyo DC beats all others. Hope it will also be more stable than Fremont DC.
