my firewall decided to break one of the pings, it decided it was ok for the ping program to send pings after it already had sent a few.

So it seems like if I were to host an Allegiance server at this datacenter, it'd have some pretty good pingtimes from around the globe.

To be honest I was half-hoping the pingtimes would suck so that it would be a no-brainer: it's useless to pay for something that sucks.
But since it seems to be pretty good for everyone, I'll look into it.

Now I just need to do some financial shuffling to see if I can afford it for a length of time - it's not cheap. It is possible for me to get a "deal" if I can get a few more people to host servers at this center along with me - bulk rate... but I need to find them /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Out of curiosity - *IF* I were to ask a few people to donate every once and a while ($20 this month, $20 a few months from now, etc), how many people would be willing to do this?

In the end I may not need this - I may be able to do it on my own but I'm not sure. If at least 10 people are willing to pass me some cash over the next year, then I know I'll be able to do it for sure without juggling things.

If you haven't already, please post your PING and TRACERT results here so I can confirm that this is as good as it appears from the first batch of replies.
Also include if it's "better" "same" or "worse" than our current servers.

Do we really need more servers? No reason to have 5 different people paying for 5 different servers when we only really use one or two. I am all for tiger spending money to provided me with free servers, but I might prefer he use it to buy software to make high res stuff I can run on the servers we already have, or bank the money and buy servers when the ones we have now disappear.

I'm just investigating here, I haven't made any decisions.

The main reason why I'm investigating is because many have complained recently about lag/pingtimes/routes to the current servers. I regularly hear people say "I don't want to play on ThalServ - I lag there"
or: "I don't want to move to Planet - I lag there"

I'm investigating a new server to see if people will lag on a hypothetical TigerServ since a few friends of mine recently hooked up a VERY sweet 'net connection and I have the opportunity to host a 1U server there for ~$100CAD a month depending on bandwidth (if I buy/provide the server).

It may be too expensive to do, but it's an option. I threw up this topic to see if it'd even be worthwhile investigating - maybe it was just-as-fast as the current servers. From people's responses it appears to be faster, so I'm continuing my investigation.
