Yeah most of the ip's gets you the same result.
I think the last time I had good ping was 180.156.x.x probably
I think the last time I had good ping was 180.156.x.x probably
Even bsnl has proper latency that's what is shocking to me (cause usually bsnl was the worst offender)
Now i gotta either go for speed or latency

@varkey just tried to mess with switching routers and renewing my ip address
got nated to
with a public facing ip 180.151.118.xxx
here's the traceroute
Also reverse trace to my ip from singapore server
now this reverse route is good enough though i would have expected it to be routed through chennai but mubai works too i guess
got nated to
Code:
IP address 10.201.116.2
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway IP address 10.201.116.1with a public facing ip 180.151.118.xxx
here's the traceroute
Code:

Interesting, perhaps its just the way Spectra is announcing these routes? 
Since its clear that some subnets get reverse routed bad, I guess it's something Spectra can fix if they want to.

They can but they won't on non static ip's for some reason. If you do remember last time it was 320ms plus ping Singapore servers. But they did say they can optimized it but later it somehow camedown to 165 as they changed the routing
Hi
Forward trace: Spectra (India) > Linode (Singapore) seems fine. Return trace: Linode (Singapore) > Spectra (India) seems not optimised as routing via Europe.
These issues happen when a network buys IP transit outside in one direction (Europe) only. Either of the following would have fixed the issue:
Let's see how it goes. Good luck!

These issues happen when a network buys IP transit outside in one direction (Europe) only. Either of the following would have fixed the issue:
- Buy IP transit from the same provider in West as well as East (so in Singapore/HK etc).
- Just don't buy transit but simply peer at an IX and keep routes local so that their announcement in EU stays within EU and doesn't reach Asia. But for that, they need to have a cover prefix. So /24 goes via AS6453 from Europe and /23 is announced to transit in India (which maintains it's own connectivity to East and West).
Let's see how it goes. Good luck!

Thank you @Anurag Bhatia 
A follow up question, how is it working better for some Spectra subnets? Are they using the method you described but only for that specific subnet? When the allocated IP address is from 180.151.118.x, the pings are better as @The_PC_Guy shared earlier -- [help] Spectra Ping / Traceroute results to Singapore | Spectra
Also, it doesn't appear to be just with Linode, looks like anything to/fro Singapore. Even speedtest-sgp1.digitalocean.com showed the same 160+ms pings.

Hi
180.151.118.0/24 is announced to their domestic IP transit provider (AS55410 - Vodafone and AS4755 - Tata Comm). Both Vodafone and Tata have PoPs in Singapore and Europe and maintain routing accordingly. They would simply announce route at both locations and hence networks in Singapore will pick their Singapore announcement, networks in Europe will pick Europe announcement.
That way you don't have a case where it's just being announced in Europe and everyone in World has to send traffic via EU for that pool.
