Hey Guys, I am considering leasing a new server in Germany to run my Asterisk infrastructure and I was wondering how response time would affect the performance of the system. Right now I have a response time of around 60-70ms with my server in California. The server in Germany would have a response time of around 140ms (both ways). My DID/Termination providers are in Canada and the USA, and all my voip boxes are also in the USA. Any suggestions or recommendations? Thanks in advance!

I stopped because of the bad quality due to latency. Last year I bought a 20 Skype seat at Gizmo but never could use them: latency Europe -> US -> Europe + Skype network was a total non sense and never could have a acceptable voice quality. You could do it if people to connect where US/Europe and vice versa. -- Daniel

I also find it odd that a lot of people UK based still think they can get better deals (cheaper & more b/w) by hosting in the US rather than in the UK - so I'm curious as to why you'd want to host outside the US... But as long as you're not passing media then anywhere you have good connectivity ought to work - however if you are passing media, then I'd be concerned that someone in California is calling their neighbour and the data is going all the way to Germany and back again... That really will be noticeable... Gordon
