    It looks beautiful as it is, but do you consider adding the table data to the SVG itself so we can keep it all as a one-thing downloaded for offline reading in the future?

    Also, The table filtering features are really nice and help a lot, and I know it requires javascript for doing so, but would you consider maintaining a no-js copy of the full table without filters as an option?

    Anyways thanks for keeping this as is, already!

      @privadesco yes but it’s always a hassle to update the svg and I made updating the website really easy. So I can always display the latest information there. A no js version does not really make sense for me but you can get the data as json from the api and do what ever you want with it. https://usenet.rexum.space/api/providers

        Nice api! Thanks for the link!

        About the js, don’t get me wrong, the site looks gorgeous as it is (with the js)!

        It’s just for no-script users, the idea of having it rendering a simple nojs if the js can’t be loaded is always nice. But take that as niche feedback.

        About having it inside the SVG, well that is the only thing I miss from the old versions. It was a really nice way to visualize, specially offline. But I understand that the tree with the filters is far superior, and I thank you for that ;) .

    And also thanks for the new version from 2025-06-30 you posted on your site! The layout dividing the locations of abavia and omicron was a nice addition, as was the ntd/dmca info for all backbones. Good work!

      @privadesco glad you like it. The division and takedown policy where already part of the map but are a bit easier to understand now because they caused some confusion.

        Yes! Now every backbone has it’s ntd/dmca icon and pure nl omicron is easier to distinguish. It’s really better! Thank you again!

        One question: Omicron NL, Base IP and Eweka backbones are all the same AS34343 number. Are they the same backbone?

        Another thing that makes me think that is possible: if you use eweka servers as a vpn endpoint, myip.wtf will say the IP belongs to “Eweka Internet Services B.V.” while myip .com will say “Base IP B.V.” to the same assigned address.
