Vultr 10gbit?
There was an announcement earlier this year: "Up to 10,000Mbps In/Out on Public & Private Network
Our VC2 platform allows up to 10Gigabit of ingress/egress to your instance on both the public and private network. This makes moving, syncing, and backing up your data between your instances and the public faster than ever."
Out of curiosity has anyone seen speeds exceeding 1gbit? My VPS are years old so.. whenever they first started.. and I regularly see 1gbit but never faster. Perfectly happy with 1gbit but I'd love to see faster speeds if possible.

Do I need to make a new VPS to get the 10gbit interface?
My guess is you'll rarely, if ever, see speeds in excess of 1Gbps unless transferring between machines inside their network. It will largely depend on the the other endpoint if the connectivity and machine will support speeds 1Gbps+. I think there are some 10Gbps download test servers that you can probably check to see what kind of speeds you can get, again the route in between the nodes could limit the speed however.
All VC2 with 2.xGHz = 10Gbps Public/Private
All VC2 with 3.xGHz = 1Gbps Public/Private
Taking a guess but 2.x are E5 and 3.x are E3?
Vultr doesn't like to admit what is used... they just call it "Virtual CPU"
Vultr also doesn't like to admit that the $2.50 VPS is a gimmick and not actually for sale.
But @DaveA is a genuine sweetheart, though. Nothing personal against him.
Have any more 3.xGhz in Seattle?
They are available in Miami and NJ. But I get your point.
Correct. The 2.xGHz are 100% E5's, 3.xGhz are a mix of E5-1650's and E3's.
Thanks I'll look into it tonight.
Is that an actual woman or a sentient handbag?
Is there anyway of being able to select one? Or is it a case of keep trying
It's tentacle softcore.
Pfffft, softcore...
Hm... Vultr 10Gbps Singapore ping takes about 180-300ms from Indonesia, while DO and Linode just take about 18ms.
It seems like $2.5 plan is not the only 'gimmick'
But after that 300 ms, you're still getting that 10Gbps to your grandmother's desktop in the village - right?
Looks like 1+ gigabit to me
Has anyone ever figured out whether they use RAID0 to get the speed and capacity but no redundancy?
I've usually gotten speeds around 2-4Gbit when doing tests in Atlanta
Not using speedtest.net for testing network performance would be a first step.
What region is this?
I have the original 3ghz servers. Am I correct that the 2ghz perform better as they're newer models or something to that extent? In any case I'll be making a new VM or two. Looking forward to the speed boost... envious of those speed tests.
If I do iperf towards OVH or online.net - still 2.5+ gigabit both ways.
Speedtest.net is fine anyway, since it, ya download and upload stuff
That's Frankfurt.
Not quite apples to apples comparison - E3 is better at single-threaded stuff (higher clock speed) while E5 is better at multi-threaded stuff / parallel processing. Processors of the latter class usually have more cores/threads and hosts crowd many many more VMs on them. (This is why a fatter port is necessary.)
Note: you're not getting additional monthly traffic. Doing 2500+ Mbit/s when you only have 1000GB traffic goes pretty quickly.
Furthermore, this doesn't improve latency, and port speed != actual speed. That's a whole different discussion.
Thanks!
Thanks I'll do some timed tests in the future to see how the 2ghz perform compared to my 3ghz stuff. I'm not a heavy bandwidth user I just want faster transit speeds when I need them. IMO, for the pricing the 10gbit port seems like a steal if I'm able to consistently get 2500+Mbit (big tbd though as I haven't tested but seems like it delivers > gbit speeds per the speed tests).
To where do you think you'll get 2500+ Mbit/s ? Not past the edge of the data center...
I regularly hit 1gbit at the moment. So I figured I'd be able to get faster speeds with a bigger pipe.
That's funny, iperf gives 2500 mbits to OVH and Online.net network - maybe Vultr uses OVH in frankfurt? No?
According to jiggawattz that's impossible unless in the same data center. I don't know enough to speak on the matter...
