Wow, thanks for the detailed answer.
I remembered from the time that I was using prgmr that you were moving to Coresite, but I must have gotten the details mixed up.
My problem with he.net is not about their peerings. They have a large number of peers, but their problem is that their network can not actually handle the bandwidth they are selling. Some time ago I had to upload about 120 GB of data to the Internet Archive and because of HE's cheap pricing the transfer of course got routed through them. Throughput during the day was averaging 100 KByte/s and only reached 2 MByte/s at night.
- lsc 15y agoare you sure it was you and not the Internet Archive? I haven't had trouble pushing my advertised capacity even during the day. At the location i'm in, they do have all kinds of broadcast spam, though, which is at best, highly unprofessional. We're slowly moving a bunch of our xen hosts from svtix to coresite, because we want this lump of servers to be on the same network, and because we're about to make a co-lo push at SVTIX. In the future, it's unclear if we will continue to buy more racks at coresite as we add more xen servers and keep svtix co-lo only, or if we will put another batch of xen servers at svtix.
- soult 15y agoYes, I confirmed it by transfering the data to a VPS hosted at Freemont (just as slow) and by transfering data from another host (that thankfully did not route via HE) to the Internet Archive. The Internet Archive can be a bit slow sometimes, but given their budget I think they are doing fairly well.
