I don’t think a public AS is absolutely required if you don’t want to get one. If you can find another company that does it similarly to Vultr, then you can begin even today. It’s just that people will see this IP prefix announced both from Vultr as well as the new provider. And they will take the closest route anyways. You will just have to create two route objects instead of one though.

However, getting an AS + IPv6 is a great to expand and add IPv6 to your network, and allows for more options in the future.

If Switzerland is acceptable (it’s close to Milano, with very good connectivity), then maybe I can help.. There are also VM providers here that offer a similar service to Vultr for almost the same cost (and do BGP) and you can also go to them directly.

I can announce for you as well, on a good blend of transit via as 55016 out of Alberta Canada. Can also provide VPS.

Thank you very much. Echolink traffic from here often goes through VK gateways (!!!) , but I'd like to avoid BGP routing through VE, HI :-) I already have several BGP options in France. And I'll see if I can find something in Italy for optimal redundancy (we'll have a new connection to a submarine cable landing in Genova / pity Vultr does not have any data center in Genova/Milano)
