Comment on DigitalOcean opens a Singapore Datacenterparent

Comments

My tests from dedicated servers hosted with the big three in Singapore showed this:

    StarHub > DO ~70ms (via Tokyo, with NTT)
    SingTel > DO ~70ms (via Tokyo, also with NTT)
    M1 > DO ~210ms (via Los Angeles)
I don't have a droplet with DO to perform the reverse path.

So this looks quite unoptimised for actual Singaporean users right now.

I'm glad you pointed out the importance of checking the reverse path. Traceroute can often be misinterpreted. I'd recommend the NANOG presentation "A Practical Guide to (Correctly) Troubleshooting with Traceroute".
