Why traffic from Telekom romania cluj gets rerouted to Bucharest then cluj? 22 ms latency inside the city defeats it's purpose for an ultra low latency vpn.
Gts is a premium network and second you pay also a premium about the premium servers and location.
The two fiber uplinks come through the yellow pipes.
The switches are ethernet QSFP+.
Here is my mini review after testing the base plan from this @intovps offer yesterday morning:
Mods: I am posting it here to avoid starting a new discussion, though happy to do so if that is the requirement. First time I have written a mini review, and first time posting a review here.
(I have a longer version of this review on a new 'review blog' site that I am working on, adding the link at the bottom of this post for those interested).This is a self-sponsored review, comments and views are my own.
The sign up process was quite easy- I followed the link from this discussion thread on LET, and selected the $ 3 plan, and clicked "sign up". It led me to a page that actually showed $ 10 in the shopping cart: the discussion in this thread has some explanation on that so I will not get into it here. I was okay with the pricing : at worst, I could cancel and ask for a refund. Else, I get a new toy to play with for minimum three months. It might not be upto everyone's palette. Hope that IntoVPS fix this ten dollar cap soon.
Anyways, payment made, my account page led me to something called fleio. I guessed that was the panel for creating the VPS instance, and indeed that was the case. A couple of minutes later, I was in business. On my Mac, the "Spice" terminal that opened up on my browser looked quite ugly, and the text wasn't rendering properly (Firefox Quantum, 68.0 - now updated to 68.0.1) . So, I fired up the terminal in mac, and a few seconds later, I was up and running.
The Debian instance that I chose came with the following:
The basic hygiene factor steps completed, it was time to launch the nench.sh and bench.sh tests. Posting one of the results here.
From my ISP (ACT Internet, Bengaluru) - the speeds were probably less than desirable. There have been some speed and service related issues thanks to a clampdown on overhead Internet cables and the monsoons- but that is seasonal I hope and soon we will be back to business.
I am still learning the significance of the values/ indices for testing speeds or benchmarks, and therefore do not understand most of the terms (yet). But since many folks are interested, I have added some screenshots. Did not save the bench.sh + nench.sh output, to do for new ttime.
To avail of the DirectAdmin License and the panel, one must use the VPS for at least one month. I may write a follow up review once I have set up DA on a new instance of a VPS next week. But more on that later. I and others have posted again here in this thread about DA, so not including it here.

update: corrected some typos. Pasting/editing long text from phone was not a good idea in hindsight.
Romania is a location to avoid for good speeds to asia or oceania , africa or south america.
Maybe you have a point!
So my home network went down yesterday three odd hours into the test install (now restored), and I did not want to bother with my mobile phone network. Will run another instance tomorrow from the office to see if speeds are any better.
Just post a traceroute you will see if this is the actual speed or traffic reroute due network issues.
@vyas11 thanks for the review.
I agree that the console is ugly. We'll see what we can do about it. I've also noted some other things from your blog post.
For Asia connectivity you may want to try our Amsterdam region, it's in the Leaseweb network.
Indeed, inter-ISP peering is usually done in Bucharest, not in Cluj.
For a lower latency from Telekom Cluj to our service a VPS in Bucharest is better.
Congrats IntoVPS guys, i still using your IntoDNS daily.
Thank you
Bucharest looking glass:

What hardware is used in Bucharest?
Right now in production in Bucharest:
Hardware already ordered and on the way (will take some weeks to be in production):
whats in fremont now?
Same as in Bucharest.
Would the Amsterdam location have same plan or will that be trading a Dog Rose for a Tulip?
You get where I am coming from!
Amsterdam M2 is on standard $5 / mo pricing.
The 40% discount is just in Cluj.
We were waiting for a fix from the noVNC console project. The fix is done and we've updated Spice to noVNC, which looks more appealing:
Looks interesting. Will check once I am back home. Thx for the update...
@intovps PM'd you... cannot edit my prev comment..
Thank you. Do you have some offers for Bucharest location as well?
@intovps Just so you know, I am waiting for you to offer VPS in SG.
An update - since I posted the review of the service and have been overall very happy. unfortunately had to cancel for now - have explained to them why. Refund was received within minutes.
@intovps you won a fan. would love to deal in future !!
p.s: In case the SG location does open up- will seriously consider.
I grabbed a Cluj server and after problems with SPICE, the switch to alternate noVNC cmd screen has worked well. PLENTY fast enough from Australia and DA is a great panel.
That's what matters most. It's nice to see a happy customer.
hello, can you check the pm? thanks!
Done
Recently deployed in Amsterdam, top notch thus far Props!
Thanks!
