SoftLayer属于IBM旗下的高端机房，在3月的时候SoftLayer香港、新加坡、日本等亚洲节点对于电信线路就开始绕美国，之后有一段时间路由进行调整又恢复啦！在一周以前，SoftLayer亚洲数据中心又开始出现各种延长等现象，到现在都没有恢复，而且联通线路也开始绕了！

SoftLayer这个线路一换，害死一大批租用他家服务器的IDC商，部分个人主机商也已经开始发布公告原SL机房套餐即将关闭，线路一换，续费的用户也不在续费。线路问题毕竟IDC商和用户没有能力左右他们的决定，所以提醒大家，如果是希望电信访问速度的，这个SoftLayer香港、新加坡和日本目前都已经不建议入手了；当然如果你是联通或者移动访问尽可无视，短期内机房恢复到原来直连中国线路不太可能。以下引用非官方消息：

SoftLayer continuously analyses and evaluates the way in we deliver services to our customers in order to bring the best possible combination of performance and price in the market. In particular we have continued evaluating the connectivity services we provide from our data centers in Tokyo, Singapore, and Hong Kong into mainland China through Chinese providers and have continued to see that this service does not provide a good cost-benefit proposition for our customers given the current cost point of these connections. We have elected to discontinue the use of these direct circuits into mainland China effective immediately. We have begun moving trseoic off these links from our Hong Kong, Singapore, and Tokyo locations which may result in some customers in those locations noticing increased latency due to the trseoic shift away from the direct circuits into circuits provided by other local vendors in region. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you and / or your customers.
