Getting about 80-100ms from Perth to Sydney on a EC2 micro instance.
- tjmc 14y agoOut of interest, how does that compare with Perth to AWS Singapore? There are direct fibre links in both cases and there's not much in it distance wise.
- andrewf 14y agoLots of Australian ISPs route to Asia via the US. So it's a coinflip as to whether any particular customer will see much better pings, or much worse pings, if you host in Singapore/Tokyo.
- msmith 14y agoI'm not sure about Perth, but from AWS Sydney I'm seeing pings of around 400ms to AWS Singapore.
- jeffbarr 14y agoPeople who understand these things a lot better than I do always tell me that pings aren't a reliable measure of network latency.
- r4vik 14y agoWell the distance between Perth and Sydney is similar to New York and SF. And pings between NY and SF are usually in the same range ~(70-90ms) so not too shabby
- thejosh 14y agoYep, this is actually quite good. I see 90+ in some cases in Sydney so this is good. I also see extremely good download speeds when testing from EC2 (it capped my connection instantly).
