Exploring MLPS options and connecting across oceans.
Exploring MLPS options and connecting across oceans.
It seems your internet service provider might be limiting your upload speed. The latency in the response isn’t unexpected, and there’s little you can do about it. It doesn’t appear your VPN setup is the issue.
It’s completely feasible, though I think the upload speed drops significantly over such distances. What internet connection do you currently use? Would you mind running a speed test and switching to a server in Chiang Mai, Thailand, to check if that impacts your upload performance? Thank you ahead of time.
NZ to Chiang Mai, strong business link (basic plan isn’t a premium dedicated option). Speed is poor. NZ to Chiang Mai offers 10G/10G with international 1G (non-research) network via REANNZ. Our AS and IP space are secured; ping results show a significantly worse path than my home connection, which should be resolved. Upload speeds remain subpar. It seems the link between AUS/NZ and Thailand is unreliable. NZ to Seattle, 10G connection available; NZ to LA also supports 10G. As mentioned by Mikensan, consider VDI/Remote Desktops or Remote Published Apps for file transfers. For uploads, using cloud services like OneDrive, Google Drive, or Dropbox is likely faster, even though it’s a multi-step process. These providers have their own global fiber infrastructure and offer superior performance. Microsoft’s approach involves connecting to the nearest local entry point into their network from public internet, then proceeding within their system.
Thanks for the feedback. It really highlights what needs improvement. The link between Thailand, Aus or NZ isn't functioning well. We rely on OneDrive a lot, which helps somewhat, but some long-time staff resist adopting new methods. Frequently I have to connect via RDP and upload files manually, then download them after they're uploaded from their side. This process is slow and cumbersome, especially since RDP doesn't support dragging folders during the upload. We don’t require high-speed transfers—just enough for RDP connections to run smoothly. I’m planning a DFS-R for our servers and will keep you updated once it’s resolved. Your insights are valuable, and I appreciate your help.
