Hey @fensuiji hit me up on chat on the site, or let me know what product doesnt work.
Anyone in western Canada should be using a Seattle DC for their main VPS needs. Very good connectivity and speeds. Better than Toronto or LA (not sure about Winnipeg).
+1 for Nice offers, but wrong order links
@manlivo thanks for the heads up! I re-added the coupon to the *DAL offerings.
Wanted to share a bench from my VPS in Seattle, I have been super happy with it.
@t0ny0 i shot you a message..
@TimboJones Really depends. In my case Chicago is the best, I'm in Alberta. At the end of the day it comes down to your ISP. Shaw is has some peering and routing issues, so does Telus.
Confirming code works.
p.s:
Noticed something in the BM but I leave it to the learned and the wise to address
@t0ny0 is a long time customer, and I had chatted him about getting him off our original E5-2650 (you can find our super old posts) hosts.
No need to hide that fact @vyas11 the disk performance there is certainly not where we want it. His machine isn't setup with a virtio disk controller, and that node has ~350MB/s array, whereas our newer nodes (E5-2670) are all easily hitting 800-900MB/s (see other benchmarks from recent sales). This machine also has a TON of free ram (~50G of disk cache) which is helping real-world usage.
We'll be phasing our the original E5-2650 server mid-year when we refresh those original nodes and consider other processor vendors.
Thanks for clarifying.
It is easy to flag “hey the disk performance seems low”. But without knowing the background, or the specific reasons it does not add much value. And without knowing the cause it is unwise to speculate.
Looking forward to the other vendor announcement down the year.
I can't wait for the new Cavium ThunderX2s!
I can confirm, been a customer for a while, and was indeed approached with an offer to move me to a new node.
The point of my bench was the network speed, as this is the only thing I am after, and its the thing that I love the most with my vm. I don't do any disk-related stuff on the VM so I haven't even noticed that its slow. Its running great for my usage.
I must agree, that usa connectivity looks solid.
What's your ping to Seattle (12ms for me), Toronto and Chicago? That seems so wrong that I'd want to contact Shaw/Telus to fix that.
Seattle 60-66
Chicago 35-45
Toronto 60-66
