    Excellent news. Always liked Linode. They are growing a lot lately, not that they have been small in the last 10 years but still.

    What can you innovate that was not offered by amazon, google and microsoft. Nothing. If you want innovations go with them. Linode provides reasonably priced services for average joe. And it does it good. That's it.

  • vimalwarevimalware Member

    Now that's how you use that war chest. All the best to Linode.

    Provide an alternative to aws' bandwidth price gouging, for small businesses

    I had large enough vps with linode (200+) and didnt complaint.

    what I mean, why India? after DO opened their DC there

    Because it's got 1.4 billion people and is not as fucked in the head Internet-wise as China.

    Because we love our streaming media as much as the next guy! (Or girl). Specifically p0rn. @ 500 million people under the age of 25. You can estimate the opportunity.

    Because DO opened a DC there.

    It's like a Burger King opening near where a McDonalds just opened.

  • vimalwarevimalware Member

    DO's DC is roughly 850km away.
    Mumbai is a more natural spot for DC (internet exchanges)

    32ms is bad imo. Do you have a test IP?

    ah, another DC within Asia by Linode, and that's interesting :smile:

    Absolutely not. It is quite good for my location to mumbai. (best I've seen is 23ms- Steam servers)

    From testing now, routes to mumbai have changed a bit and now I see 75ms ping to Linode mumbai IP and flipkart.com .
    (I'll keep monitoring. Else, it makes sense to stick with SGP and its steady 60ms ping)
