depends on what you want to pay. and interconnection sucks, so if your target market is in the philippines you'd probably want to be hosted at every major ISP (PLDT, Globe, Eastern Telecom, Digitel, not sure of the others) so that at least speed to their subscribers (and downstreams) would be fast. you might be slow with some smaller players though (those telcos that have their own links to the U.S. and don't interconnect with the big 4). I would say that the thing to do, if you can afford it, is to multi-home. Maybe multi-home according to ISP size/coverage (e.g., biggest bandwidth with PLDT, smaller/reasonable bandwidth with the others). and then have interesting routing rules so that requests from PLDT have replies going out through the PLDT link, etc. but i'm making all of that up grace. I have only looked at the situation, not actually tried to get something like that working. where i used to work I think they had three bandwidth providers, or maybe three while i was there but they switched one for the other. anyway, for reliability (not just speed) multi-hosting is a good thing. jijo sevilla likes the hosting at tri-isys. i'm not quite clear why. the discussion is in the plug archives. i think tri-isys has good peering with all the major ISPs. btw, what would the bandwidth be used for nga? the only reason to host *in*the*philippines* is because you're serving the local market (maybe even some extreme things, e.g., streaming video). and even then, e.g., inq7.net does not host locally, they host in the U.S. you might want to specify your requirements and then shop around for an ISP that will give you the service level agreement that you require. or give the requirement to all the ISPs and then choose the one with the lowest price (or maybe the second lowest price, i never trust lowest bidder :-). tiger _________________________________________________ Kagay-Anon Linux Users' Group (KLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (http://cdo.linux.org.ph) Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
