@grillchen @Jain @kaia @puniko damn...

I'm really sorry for you...
Cuz #ADSL sucks and #DTAG has an absurdly.congested #CoreNetwork to the point that both #Cogent and #Level3 once sued them for "insufficient capacity" since they don't want to be abused as #upstreams.

Needless to say DTAG doesn't really peer openly on #DECIX and only is present there for clients that want them to do transit.

@LunaRogue depends on the network in question and how well it's interconnected.

For example, you may have double-digit ms on a #5G tower that is fiber-connected, triple-digits if it uses RF links that are pretty clogged and potential timeouts and packet losses with shitty networks like #DTAG since they don't peer on #DECIX and underprovidion their peers abused as upstream|s [#Cogent & #Level3]...

And in some cases, you've to deal with mobile networks of cruise ships that are on #Inmarsat BGAN

@anders One function has gone to vmhaus (watch out: they block port 25!). Some less important stuff has gone to a micropc I've put on a 1gig fibre residential line. And I'm still looking for a decent Windows vps for a bespoke program I run! ( https://fosstodon.org/@CenturyAvocado/110057579773409536 ). BinaryRacks looked ideal but I've found their support to be slow and their #Cogent IPv6 can't reach he.net. #vps #cheaphosting

ARGH... I'm on my second attempt at finding a suitable #VPS host who is low cost, supports #IPv6 and isn't utterly scummy... this one looked perfect.. then I tried pinging an IPv6 server I have off HE.net... I can't believe this #Cogent to he.net IPv6 issue is STILL a thing. (also, sucks that this VPS provider has Cogent only).

@kwf that reminds me of news stories that #DTAG abusing #Cogent & #Level3 as #Upstreams and refusing to upgrade the bandwiths, causing #PacketLoss and instable connectivity out of their #ego not wanting to peer at #DECIX and have properly sized ports.

This even went into lawsuit filings, but propably got pulled due to arbitration.

After all, I remember colleagues saying one should not exceed 30-50% of the network capacity prior to upgrading just to have enough breathing room.

@spucky @forthy nicht nur das...

Das Problem bei der #DTAG ist nicht allein der #Investitionsstau am Endkundenanschluss, sondern dass auch deren #Kernnetz komplett #überlastet und #verstopft ist.

Soweit dass #Cogent und #Level3 bereits mal die #DeutscheTelekom verklagt haben weil diese nicht als #Upstream missbraucht werden wollen da die #Telekom zu faul ist am #DECIX neutrales #Peering zu machen.

Weil #DeutscheTerrorkom hasst #Netzneutralität!

And it’s genuinely nice to see some familiar faces over here, so, who knows, maybe I’ll be a bit more active over here if the desire to discuss #cogent thematic discourse arises.

We're back online! Our ISP at the datacenter got evicted and left us without internet for four days! Thanks #cogent!

How could I forget the one I've actually played! Only remembered when I got a project folder out and found my character sheet 🤦🏻‍♀️#Cogent

Hey #cogent, would you please stop dropping 1 packet out of 4 sent through your infrastructure?

Love and kisses, Romain

Thanks #cogent
