Why premium routing matters

Lower latency

Premium paths are shorter and less congested, so pages, SSH, and games stay responsive.

Stable at peak

Standard routes choke during evening peak hours. Premium networks hold their throughput.

All three carriers

Telecom, Unicom, and Mobile users all get an optimized path.

Two entry points

Choose Tokyo or Singapore for the shortest hop to your users in China.

Questions

What makes the routing premium?+

We buy the premium path on each carrier: CTGNet (formerly CN2 GIA), CUP, and CMIN2, not the cheapest transit. Those routes stay fast and stable through evening peak.

Do all three carriers get premium routing?+

Yes. China Telecom, China Unicom, and China Mobile each get their own optimized path.

Can I test the route myself?+

Run a ping, traceroute, or BGP lookup yourself from Tokyo or Singapore with our Looking Glass before you order.

Tokyo or Singapore: which is better?+

It depends on where your users are. Test latency from Tokyo and Singapore with our Looking Glass, then go with whichever is faster.
