Are you sure it was about poor routing to Singapore and not poor routing to
networks in EU?

The reason I ask is that a majority of connectivity has been lost to EU and
EU > India is mostly via US > Singapore now.
I see high latency on this route for that reason but so far haven't seen
packet loss or routing issues with Singapore.




Thanks.
