Hello,

I need your opinions on which NOC has the least hops to Australia? Also best latency, i have currently been looking at:

Nac.net
Verio
Alabanza
VDI

VDI =
14 www.vdi.net (216.10.16.24) 264.584 ms 264.61 ms 264.74 ms

NAC =

30 * a9-0-1165.msfc1.oct.nac.net (209.123.11.10) 248.647 ms *

Verio =

12 ge-1-0-0.a10.dllstx01.us.ra.verio.net (129.250.28.164) 209.161 ms 209.154 ms 209.183 ms
13 * * *

Alabanza =

15 alabanza.com (209.239.47.200) 261.629 ms 261.542 ms 261.929 ms


These are the current ones i've looked at, with vdi i've repeatedly recieved 14 hops with 264ms, any other providers i should look at?

Look for the less hopes and best latency from AU, i will need to lease a dedicated server with this aswell, so if possible can you provide a link to reputable company who uses one of these networks.

Verio doesn't have a single datacenter - it has quite a few (although it has recently closed some). Obviously some Verio DC's will be quicker than others, depending on their location and connectivity.

13 hops from Verio - Salt Lake City to a server we have at www.dedicatedservers.com.au

Try http://www.tracert.com/cgi-bin/trace.pl on an Aussie IP from a numebr of different points.

Hmm, Verio seems the best in respect for what i need. Anyone know any company offering dedicated servers based in one of Verio's data centers?
