I'm trying to find some KT contacts. Email to the sales contacts on their web pages are vanishing, and we'd really like to colo.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 A top-posted self-followup: There seems to be no way for normal humans to reach Korea Telecom. That's OK, I'd rather not colocate a critical business function with the Invisible Company anyway. So, let me change the question. Anyone know of good colo in the AP region with excellent regional connectivity? I know it's a large, discontiguous area to cover, but I'm happy with "as good as it gets" as an answer. Bonus question: colo in London to cover the EU region? Colt looks nice but their numbers are off the scale. thanks, matto On Wed, 22 Oct 2003, just me wrote: I'm trying to find some KT contacts.

We have a whole bunch of racks at pbase.net - they peer at HKIX. Or try Singtel in Singapore.

Which part of asiapac do you really want to colo in? -- srs (postmaster|suresh)@outblaze.com // gpg : EDEDEFB9 manager, outblaze.com security and antispam operations

Which part of asiapac do you really want to colo in? The physical location is secondary to the quality of connectivity to the region, and the quality of the facility, in that order. For some background, I'm locating the AP node of an anycasted service. If cost were no object, I'd probably colo nodes in Australia, Tokyo, and Hong Kong (or Korea); but I get one POP for the region in the budget, so thats how it goes. matto --mghali@snark.net------------------------------------------<darwin>< Flowers on the razor wire/I know you're here/We are few/And far between/I was thinking about her skin/Love is a many splintered thing/Don't be afraid now/Just walk on in. #include <disclaim.h>

Singapore would be your best bet for this I think. -- srs (postmaster|suresh)@outblaze.com // gpg : EDEDEFB9 manager, outblaze.com security and antispam operations

The pertinent questions are, I think (a) what do you mean by "the region" and (b) what constitutes good quality connectivity for your application? Asia Pacific is a big place. If you really mean "the whole of Asia Pacific", the answer is quite possibly still "Palo Alto". Joe

If you really mean "the whole of Asia Pacific", the answer is quite possibly still "Palo Alto". "The region" does indeed mean the whole of asia pacific. My objective is to locate the service where query-response latency will be the lowest for as many clients in the region as possible. I realize that AP is a tough area to cover; I spent three years doing ISP work in Tokyo. Like I said in my reply to Suresh, I'd love to be able to drop more than one POP in the region. F's locations in New Zealand, Hong Kong, and Seoul sound pretty ideal. Unfortunately, I only have room for one POP on the budget. matto --mghali@snark.net------------------------------------------<darwin>< Flowers on the razor wire/I know you're here/We are few/And far between/I was thinking about her skin/Love is a many splintered thing/Don't be afraid now/Just walk on in. #include <disclaim.h>

HKIX would be your best bet, considering it's connectivity to Far East, Pacific, South East, South Asia as well as west Asia both over fiber and satellite. It's also a more competitive market than Singapore or Seoul - more bang for you buck. -- gaurab /////////////////////////////////////+97714499393

Looking from the Indian subcontinent I can see that most of the large ISPs get additional pipes from, and peer at, singtel to supplement their pipes from formerly monopoly / govt telcos and satellite feeds. I do know that Reach is doing the same thing with HK connectivity but Singtel seems streets ahead of them in this respect, at least here in India. -- srs (postmaster|suresh)@outblaze.com // gpg : EDEDEFB9 manager, outblaze.com security and antispam operations
