Now I get how OneProvider all of a sudden can offer unmetered 1Gbit/s sub 20EUR/mo
Pings from Poland:
NL - 39-41 ms
FR - 44-47 ms (was 39 before)
Home (NL) <-> Dedibox (NL): 2 - 3 ms
See the routes - it seems it goes via Paris:
AMSTERDAM
and PARIS
To me, it's pretty pointless unless you are in NL
100ms from Germany
Nice, the prices are competitive.
not too bad
Grotesque! It should be WAY less.
That hostname though...
Traceroute from amsterdam
Route goes Amsterdam >> Paris >> Amsterdam. :O
ein deutsches Qualitätsprodukt: http://avm.de/ ;-)
Fritz Box, one of the best home routers around!
Or one of the priciest home routers.
Maybe. But they never disappointed me. There are surely other very good routers around, but I would always get a FritzBox if I can.
Well, if your ISP forces you to pay 20€ to get an old Fritz Box with only 802,11n 2.4Ghz WiFi and you have to put another router besides it to get decent WiFi, then you question what you need that Fritz Box for.
Absolutely! But your provider obviously sucks then... ;-) Can't blame that on AVM.
Traceroute from my home connection. My ISP has set some high weight on trying to route as much traffic over their own Eurorings (AS286) network, which I've found to be loving EU > Atlantic Ocean > US > Pacific Ocean > Asia routes, while the IPv6 traffic is properly routed via France and India.
I wonder people are still buying with them.
It's cheap, and that's the only criteria for some.
They've had the NL location on their weathermap for a few months, just missing a label.
Not the only criteria for all their customers.
They provide a decent service, had been around for a long time, can actually maintain power and cooling, have relatively liberal abuse policies, some DDoS protection, decent connectivity to nearly everywhere except DTAG/UPC, and support while not being good is fast enough for the price.
In my book they are certainly better than most of the budget or even "average" dedi providers.
Can I get a better service from a provider with a better network and support personnel? Certainly, but I'd need a substantially bigger budget, not even counting the unmetered bandwidth and DDoS protection. And that would actually make some of my projects unsustainable.
So people can hate as much as they want, but Online.net is a great bang for the buck. If only the support was a bit more reliable...
@nyr you should not have any issues with DTAG, I am interested if you do ... UPC has a bad peering policy these days, hard to fix that ....
I did have problems months ago. Nowadays I don't push much traffic to DTAG so I guess the situation could've improved.
I actually prefer to keep paying low prices than to pay ISPs which don't want to peer
Huge setup fees still exist
Seems they added some cogent in AMS aswel.
Got a quick benchmark:
Same server in Paris:
This thread is another perfect proof of how terrible the peering of Liberty Global / UPC really is.
Telefonica O2 Germany ADSL: ~38ms, 16 hops (also backhauled via Paris/Vitry-sur-Seine)
Does anyone have a test IP for their NL location? The ones posted earlier don't seem to respond anymore.
