Member OP
Tired of "premium blend" marketing
Want a provider that actually publishes
Their upstreams and peering
Transit ratios, as paths, anything
Does this exist or is it all just
Opaque buzzwords now
Lol the marketing pages all say "premium blend" and "optimized routing" tbh nobody actually shows the as path
Debian box at Hetzner, arch at RackNerd, both traceroutes look like they were planned by a random number generator
Kidding. Mostly.
Seriously though my threadripper box with 256GB routes through some mystery exchange in virginia that adds 40ms to everywhere west. "premium network" my left DIMM.
$ yabs.sh -n
IPv4 Network Performance:
Provider | Location | Send Speed | Recv Speed | Latency
---------|----------|------------|------------|--------
Clouvider | London, UK | 1.21 Gbits | 0.98 Gbits | 4.2 ms
Arelion | Paris, FR | 0.87 Gbits | 0.76 Gbits | 11 ms
Cogent | NYC, USA | 0.34 Gbits | 0.29 Gbits | 89 msMeh network on cogent leg. Decent disk IO. They won't admit they blend cogent.

- current state: opacity
- providers hide behind "premium" and "optimized"
- actual topology: unknown
---
- what would help
- public peeringdb entries
- actual upstream lists
- transit vs peering ratios

Or you want them to draw you a map, how do you say, obviously they will tell you everything because clearly the competition needs to know exactly where to fiber cut /s
@YuriDavid your NOTE is noted, obviously I am not an engineer, clearly that was sarcasm, /s
