I could help if you are using China Telecom or China Mobile. CN2 direct peering with Germany then port forward to any Euro destination.
@bryce are you in Amsterdam ?
I am at /home. Can you rephrase your question? Do you want to meet up for coffee? :-)
China connectivity in any way is interesting, so feel free to share anything useful.
@bryce we have cloud locations at Amsterdam and Singapore i wanted to give you our looking glass urls to run some tests ?
What budget do you have? 1EUR/Mbit is not realistic for quality CN BW outside of China Mobile, even in EU/US.
A key player in Central Europe is Interoute cloud, so maybe that could be suited for something in Amsterdam. There is peering to your requested internet service provider.
They do... what? 200 customers?
Interoute is primarily transit/transport and always was, yea their "cloud" looks nice as does DTAG and Telecom Italia but they are not end-user friendly and only target large enterprise even if that means half the infra is empty.
Interoute to CN is... ok, but not ideal either.
@Ikoula yes please.
@William very true. You are an expert on this, so I'd rather hear what you have to say than limit your advice by naming a number :-)
For me, budget depends on performance. To DO in the Netherlands is about 400ms right now. If it is either faster / lower latency or cheaper than their $5 VPS, that will do.
Are you after latency or quality? CN<->EU is nowhere latency optimized and the key routes to maintain quality switch often (FR-AE-IN, via red sea, via Russia, via US and there either JP, TW or HI/Guam...), for latency you have to at least use Asia or Oceania (or one of the stable LAX/SJC routes to CN).
If quality means less congestion and packet loss and having that stable over time, I'll take it over latency any day.
