Singapore ISP?

Hi, I was wondering if someone could tell me what the ISP currently used in Singapore is?

You need to be a little more specific. Are you talking about an AirVPN server or something else? Either way you can use a tool like https://ipleak.net or https://whatismyipaddress.com to figure that information out easily.

I often use SG servers from Australia so without doing a detailed recheck will comment that Antares and Reticulum are in Leaseweb Asia Pacific datacenter, the others are in UK Web.Solutions Direct. Both "ISP"s seem to be international enterprise grade, and very little downtime or load >30%. But I do not try to achieve highest bandwidth for family multiple FHD streams etc.

However, the international routing varies considerably, so page load and gaming would depend on where you are accessing, and if in SG or perhaps AU or India or Indonesia etc. If you use SG, you may want to  check tracert to choose your  "best" servers. From AU, the Leaseweb servers are routed via Vocus Perth to SG (normally, but the cable is down again, so now via Hong Kong), but the others are twice across the Pacific and up and down California. I guess it is because UK WSD are associated with M247 international cable and prefer their own facilities.

Another point to note about using Singapore servers is routing to Europe.

tracert from Air Reticulum in Leaseweb Asia Pac to airvpn.org:

Hop 1 is from my location to SG via HK, if not familiar, so ignore.

Note hop 6 is only about 150ms, and is straight from SG to Milan Italy with no IP routing, so at the speed of light with just optical repeaters rather than packet queuing. Presumably via the Suez.

The HK and JP servers seem to route to EU via the US with multiple IP routing through carriers and whatever else goes on in Trumpistan, so slower etc.

I just found this internet resource which is interesting for AirVPN users in Asia-Pacific etc, and may help understand ping times and traceroutes and congestion.
