Frankfurt surely has a great IX. Even if Frankfurt would make everyone better off (which I'm not sure about) there is another problem. People in the US are used to lower latencies because most SaaS services are hosted there.
- samstave 10y agoI have less of a concern on latency than I do with who has taps in the lines... I would assume that the .de lines are saturated with 5 eyes...
- cpach 10y agoSo what location would be out of reach of FVEY? And why would you put secret stuff on Gitlab.com?
- nikanj 10y agoI remain skeptical about the existence of non-tapped lines.
- samstave 10y ago+1 EDIT: Funny, every single documented, proven link for the last several years has proven me and GP correct and all you nay-sayers wrong.
- predakanga 10y agoI believe the downvotes are due to "+1" not adding anything to the conversation, as opposed to people disagreeing with the sentiment.

- samstave 10y agothank you. i didnt read it with that context
