VPS with Lowest RTT/latency from anywhere in the world
I am looking for a VPS with tier 1 transit offering the lowest RTT/latency from different locations around the world.
e.g from Australia, Asia, EU and US.
Monthly traffic would not exceed 100GB/m and expected port should offer min of 3Mbit/s.
I am expecting a lowest possible rate.
So far i have seen average ping results from NY to
Australia - 250
Singapore - 220
Europe - 117
Please help if you can.
Thanks.

There is no lowest ping from "anywhere"... that's called a CDN. Find out your target audience, get VPS's in the appropriate locations.
I have few users in USA, Australia, Asia and Europe.
In that case what should I be looking for, which location would be appropriate ?
You can use few VPS in different parts of the world together with GeoDNS ("closest first" setup)
Thank you gbhouse.
Its a nice suggestion, I really likes it.
In this I have to manage more than one VPSs i think.
Try:

As a looking glass. Internap Texas. It's also pingable and IPv6 ready.
@quddus - yes, but you can pick the best providers for specific region like OneAsiaHost for Asia, Prometeus for Europe or Hostigation for US
Best latency as i know it's montreal canada for Europe/SouthAmerica/Asia
Use this as well to test ping from multiple locations.

If you need an acceptable latency from both US and Europe, you may want to consider looking into Iceland as it's nicely in the middle between them.
There's not going to be one location that has a good latency for everywhere, there's simply a physical distance that the light has to travel. It's physically impossible to have low latency to everywhere in the world, from one central location. That's what anycast is for.
Additionally, i'm not sure any of us do tier 1? I suppose Datashack/WSI would be closest, since they peer with KCIX, but they're incompetent otherwise, unfortunately.
In theory yes, but currently it always goes US->EU->IS.
AFAIK there is no direct US->IS cable in operation, or at least those are not used by providers in that region for transit of general customers' traffic.
Check with is.edis.at, would be interesting to see if you find any IP a trace to/from which proves me incorrect.
@rm_ There are some Ashburn, VA routes that are nice, however, you are correct that they all go through Germany or London first, and then to Iceland.
Usually tinet.net to London or Voxel to Germany, at least for ThorDC.
Cheers!
I disagree. The earth has a radius of ~7000km. If you were to host a server at the core it would have a ping of ~23ms (speed of light in a vacuum). Let's round that up to 50ms to account for the light being in a fibre and routers. Still 50ms is a good latency for every practical need.

Speed of light in fiber is 200k km/s - 1.5 times slower than the speed of light in vacuum.
Sir can I interest you in a Quantum VPS... less than 2ms ping to anywhere in the world.
(placing this here in case it wasn't obvious enough).
Meh, my Wormhole VPS has pings of less than -2ms.
... bite me. (lol)
I'll lend you my wormhole and you can bite yourself.
.... thinking bout it.
They are more tier 2...
Maidenhead, Uk - DireVPS
the black hole, is the most powerful communication anomaly yet to be discovered. its gamma particle system is amazing.
But does it have an app layer?
Its all about distance. One option you can use is GeoDNS using rage4.com which i had used with great success. If the application involves streaming video then thinks get more complicated. If you want to keep thinks simple UK Maidenhead is a good compromise for EU/NA
does SingleHop count as Tier1?
ping 8.8.8.8
Go with google
If you found anycast is troublesome, maybe pull a LAN cable from every IX on the world using a sheer number of this:
Suggest a low end CDN made up of 3-7 VMs:
1x US - Kansas City or Chicago <= 40ms to most places in continental US
1x EU - Frankfurt and vicinity <= 30ms around Europe; <= 60ms to Moscow/Russia (maybe set up another node in Moscow or points east if Russian/C.I.S. traffic is important to you)
1x Asia - HK or inside China for China traffic; Singapore for all of SE Asia
Optionally: 1x India - if you are targeting that huge and growing market
Optionally: 1x Australia - if targeting Aussie traffic
Optionally: 1x Latin America - Brazil (biggest market) or Panama maybe...? Otherwise it's at least 115ms from Miami
Optionally: 1x Africa, if traffic from this area is important to you (most places in Africa, even those with large client base (e.g. Nigeria), have horrible connectivity with the "outside" world; even South Africa is at least 160ms away from Europe)
At LEB prices, the cost is negligible, say <= $60/mo - even using KVMs
I agree with @andrzej - This is a cost efficient way and will produce the results you want.
Ok, but when you're bending over to bite yourself in the past, be sure not to accidentally obstruct yourself originally entering though the wormhole, thus making yourself having never entered, because mathematics will get extremely shitty with you.
