Amsterdam · AMS-3 · Science Park
Servers in Netherlands
Best peering on earth
Answer
Amsterdam gives you AMS-IX-grade peering with over 1,100 direct adjacencies and 25 Gbps uplinks. Dutch blanket data retention was struck down in 2015 and never restored, and US DMCA notices carry no direct legal force. The trade-off is EU membership and Nine Eyes participation.
