Best USA location for speeds from the UK

in Help

Hey,
I have a VPN with RamNode at the current moment but it does seem a tad slow,
I'm wondering what the best location would be for VPN speeds from the UK.
Thanks

    Possibly New York ?

    Look at the east coast - New York, New Jersey sort of places......I would say Buffalo at a push :)

    New York / New Jersey / Atlanta / Florida

    First two being the best bet.

    ^This. @Adisan, NYC/NJ should win. Possible additions: North Carolina, Pennsylvania. Also within Florida there will be slight differences between Jacksonville, Orlando, and Miami.

    New York, New Jersey tend to be 'decent' however I've had a good connection (faster than New York's Colocrossing) using Crissic's Jacksonville DC

    Skip buffalo and get the real new york or new jersey stuff (aka at choopa for NJ).

    Where is your VPS located?

    Give their NY location some pings etc:

    About 40-50ping more on my Atlanta VPS, so it would hopefully be better in NYC

    @Adisan - Montreal is better then buffalo and is real good, but North Jersey-New York is your best bet.

    New Jersey.

    I get 82ms, and 102ms for Buffalo, NY

  • AdisanAdisan Member

    I'm going with NYC as my current VPS has about 6months left and they'll transfer me to NYC for free. :)

  • catalystiumcatalystium Member

    Nicely done :-).

  • amhoabamhoab Member

    I'd say that New York and the DC area are definitely the best bets.

  • rmlhhdrmlhhd Member

    New York - I get a ping on 90ms from Wales via BT to RamNode NYC

  • linuxthefishlinuxthefish Member

    88ms to ramnode NY, 121ms to CC's 'new york' from the UK! 99ms to Crissic in Florida I think, could be another choice.

    What do you mean by "seem a tad slow"?

    Are you talking about normal use or when you benchmark server performance?

    Personally, I really doubt you would notice a difference between Atlanta and New York in normal use, and likely the reason it seems slow is either the VPS (inc. the software setup) or your internet connection.

  • Falco33Falco33 Member

    Why don't you give the NL location a try? :)
