Oceania - More servers/bandwidth for the region - v2

[JonathanM 6]

Hi AirVPN,

Would just like to advocate for more servers/bandwidth to be made available for the Oceania region.

The two servers in the region are often running at high capacity, resulting in degraded performance for users using the Oceania region.

Thanks for your consideration.

If that's GitHub, it's not an Oceania-specific problem but one affecting pretty much every server I connected to and tested it with. Looks like something of a "soft-block".

funny enough, but it wasn't github it was gitlab.inria.fr

Bump, we are often running over 75% percent capacity most of the time in oceania.

The New Zealand servers seem very overloaded. A new server or upgrading the bandwidth would be nice. Everynight it seems they are overloaded.

Yeah dude... New Zealand is always 1 or 2 highest percentage of bandwidth used at any given moment. It carries all of Australia and New Zealand on it's back. What does the southern hemisphere really have? NZ and Brazil? For literally half the world? I feel like this has needed urgent attention for at least the last 12 months or so. Speeds have never been good sadly. I've probably peaked around 72mbps in that period with I'd say 70% of the time around 24mbps on a gigabit connection in Sydney 😢 . We'd need one or two 10000mbps servers. 2x 2000mbps servers was never gonna cut it.

There are now Datapacket servers in Auckland that also offer very high bandwidth. https://www.datapacket.com/datacenters/auckland

It is crazy to see at peak times these servers are 3800 Mbits/s out of 4000 Mbits/s. We at least need a new server or a bandwidth upgrade.
