    Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread Part 2

    I'm doing some testing to Brazilian servers out of curiosity and learning purposes and saw this, can anyone tell me the route traffic is taking for latency to be this low? Surely it can't be going through EU and NA, if it's actually using SACS then I'd be shook.

    Once the two subsea cables are fixed in the months to come, will traffic still be routed through Equiano or will all types of traffic fall back onto the original cables?

    Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread Part 2

    Afrihost created PPTP VPN servers to help with a more direct route to EU as we know from their thread about it. Would it be a possibility if they invested the funds into it to create one that makes use of the SACS route? @AfriNatic would actually like to hear your thoughts on this.

    I always hope to see SACS be used in the future for reduced latency both to North and South America. In fact the reason I created an account here was to ask about it.

    After the two cable breaks, I'm not sure which route traffic is taking (I'm guessing Equiano) but < 140ms is a record for me, the lowest I've ever got before this was 170ms

    Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread Part 2

    Anyone know what's going on with the SABR undersea cable? Apparently it was delayed to be completed in the second half of this year. If it does, would it be possible to start routing traffic to the US that way? It's a much shorter route to take than having to go all the way to EU or even to use...
