base on my track previously NTT to EU normally is via Amsterdam when SEA-ME-WE 5 was not down during last year till Mid-Feb which the cable cut and during this period most of traffic was via Milan. When the restoration was done half of the traffic shifted back to Amsterdam.

Not sure now why now the traffic shifted to Vienna then only Amsterdam which also cause additional latency.

The normal usual route which Maxis took to Europe last time was via TI's SEABONE route via Southern Italy into European destinations.

I'm starting to see that Maxis has now started utilizing their TATA routes (AS6453) to reach Belgium networks such as Proximus but they're not being prioritized thus the spike in latency during handover.

The packets already arrived in Belgium via Singapore using Tata's route in just about 171ms which is considered very good but upon handover to Proximus's network the packets experienced some 100ms delay due to not being prioritized as a peering partner of Maxis.



Maxis has very little peering arrangements in European region particularly Benelux countries.

Hello Guys, sorry for interrupt your conversation. I have enquiry, currently I'm using Unifi Fibre 100mbps, I seeing Celcom Fibre offer 300mbps (competitive price)

Based on you guys expertise on ISP international routing, its that safe to take Celcom Fibre now? I have concern on latency and worry apps, gaming, etc my user might experincing delay.

Hope you guys dont mind to share. Thank you.

So much has been said about Maxis. How about Celcom and Digi?

Allo's, if anyone is lookihng for it

Digi/Umobile/Redtone is leasing majority ingress traffic from TM.

no different at all if you using TM.

only celcom / maxis is far different from them since they have their own transit provider and not leasing from TM at all.

Ok noted.

What about TIME compared to unifi local and international?

TIME still ok.. bad point if your source sending the ingress traffic to Singtel then back to TIME from Europe/US might having higher latency then the rest of upstream they have.

local as usual using MYIX or direct peering.

Thats great. At least better than unifi

any more updates on Upstream Peering Providers?
