Can provide test IP in EU?
Where are you based ? We can give you a test IP to test your latency to us if interested.
Hi,
I need the server to be in Singapore ... but good latency to europe..
@ExpertVM,
i made lookglass with your server ping and seem +380ms to Europe
@Clouvider,
i tought you offer UK server only ? i cant see singapore option in your website
Regards
Test using their looking glass/speedtest : VULTR, Linode, oneasiahost.com, Leaseweb, DigitalOcean, dediserve, z.com
@Tomz please PM me your IP. Thanks!
Assumed you need the other way - server in EU but good latency to Singapore, dunno how I missed it.
DO or Vultr in Singapore ??
ok thank you @all , i picked vultr
What is 'low latency'?
I don't have any SG servers but I do have ways of bringing down my latency between HK and Europe from upto 350ms down to 220ms.
If you consider 220ish to be low, then you need to look for paths through Russia (RETN) or similar. Just not via USA as seems to be the most common.
Nice find
For me the absolutely lowest is Linode SG with 149ms from Online.net DC3 over HE.net's IPv6 network. But it's much worse on IPv4 with 313ms using Telstra via the US.
It appears you can get the lowest latency when routed both ways via HE.net's EU<>SG link, and you have more chances to get onto that when using IPv6 not IPv4.
HE.net is indeed pretty good, it all goes through Marseille, so logically Milan and Paris are the best options there. Marseille - Singapore should be as low as 135ms on HE.net or so. However, quite a bit of jitter.
That's actually pretty decent. Nice find!
Mind sharing mtr both ways ? Would be interesting to see if this is a Customer direct route or some peering.
I've seen that HE.net had a direct connection between EU and SG, and for a time HE.net traffic was actually quite okay to EU (sub 200ms to HK), but I have since stopped seeing this. Now even HE.net routes via USA, at least for me.
Hmm, I just checked lg.he.net to the EDIS HK looking glass (hk.edis.at).
195ms from London, 200ms from Frankfurt and 175ms from Marseille. All going via Marseille and Singapore to HKIX.
You can find those who have GTT, Telia, or duetsche Telekom at singapore. But i am wondering really can get 145ms? as i know point to point from sg to germany already took about 170ms.
149 from Paris:
But as posted above, it has some variance in latency, i.e. I'm testing just now, and on some tries it's up to 160-170ms.
If you look at Khabarovsk (only on certain routes, NTT or PCCW), then you can obtain one of the low latency paths possible to Europe from Asia. With IPv6, not necessarily and mostly via the routes already described above (HE etc).
So basically the paths go through Russia. There are Khabarovsk <-> Japan/HK paths, and going straight through Northern/Central Europe to the West.
From Japan KDDI, it is 25ms as the lowest.
To Stockholm:
For SG going via Russia will not be a win, as the Middle-East route to Europe is shorter. For Hong Kong and Japan it might, but the OP asks for Singapore.
You're right with cable systems such as SEA-ME-WE 3 or 4.
I'm from Australia, would routing to eu server be similar? would like a eu server where i get lower ping atm my UK one i get 330-350 lmao
What's your ping to Singapore? Add 150ms (best case) to that. But I'm afraid you won't get any route from Australia towards EU without getting a jump box in Singapore yourself first (that you would have a direct route to).
300ms from vultr australia to hetzner/ovh/online.net (+-5ms). Not much to gain using the "most popular" routes.
The best case to Singapore from Australia (WA) is about 55-60ms. Via SMW3 to London, it is possible for the total latency to be around 290ms. A year ago, such routes existed with major ISPs... You probably won't find a PER-SG-LON (LINX or AMS-IX) route now.
