We've run a latency check from few countries to all DigitalOcean datacenters just now from our CloudPerf last mile monitoring ( http://cloudperf.speedchecker.xyz ) . If anyone is interested to see which datacenter to chose. New datacenter in Bangalore no suprises there works pretty well from India. Also, connectivity from Middle East such as UAE is better than current connectivity to Europe. See PDF here : http://bit…

How is it that latencies from India to Bangalore is 187 ms, while from Singapore is 130 ms and from UAE is 143 ms? Am I interpreting the numbers wrong?

Because the measurements might have come from users on mobile.

awesome ! quite surprised on how they are able offer a dedicated IP and 1TB bandwidth for $5 in Bangalore.

We worked very hard with our bandwidth providers to be able to provide the same pricing structure in India as in all of our other regions. It's taken us close to 2 years from first initially investigating the possibility of a datacenter in India to finally getting one launched. We're very excited about it! =]

Thanks Moisey for such a amazing Infra. It's just perfect time for us as we are going to launch our production services within one week.

This is last-mile performance. We test from thousands of locations within India and other markets. Better latency in Singapore and UAE could be explained by better connectivity in those places in comparison with India.

You can see that Singapore->Singapore is around 50ms, whereas India->India is around 200ms

Traceroutes from 3 agents in India, unfortunately all 3 are in Bangalore. : https://pulse.turbobytes.com/results/574f0cd7ecbe406cc400157... Surprising that for AS24309 and AS17488 (Both TATA upstream) it goes via Delhi, so inefficient.

If you have any latency issues please open a support ticket so that our network engineering team can take a look at it. There maybe some additional peering points that we need to add.

Thanks!

Will be here before you know it =]

Our beta test is in full swing with customers who opted in and we're constantly adding new customers into the beta test in the order in which they subscribed to it.

So this will be rolling out very soon =]

News of the day for me. Been a satisfied Digital Ocean Customer for over 2-3 years now. Cheaper services have emerged but the awesome customer service has kept me hooked.

The "cheaper" services are those for rent a few dedicated servers - often old generation, and run WHMCS for billing and SolusVM for control, the first it's a matter of time until your private information is leaked, the second only a matter of time until your VM is rooted, do a search for all the comical security issues of reccent years. DigitalOcean or any provider that avoid the trio of tripe WHMCS, SolusVM, cPanel are worth every extra penny, although in this case DO is a cheap as they come.
