Worst disk i/o competition
What is the worst i/o that you've ever measured with a provider ?
I'm going to start with my "flagship":
dd if=/dev/zero of=test22 bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync 16384+0 records in 16384+0 records out 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 892.043 seconds, 1.2 MB/s

952kB/sec - [hostname removed], but you can't complain. SSH was really slow, but otherwise was OK.
seriously are they hosting you with a raspberry pi?
8MB/s - hostslim
VIRPUS FTW! this is the only competition they can actually win
That's the slowest I could find.. lol. And it's on my own server (non-virtualized).
I had 7MB/s but that was my Linux Live USB Stick
This was back in the days I had a VPS at VPSCorner, at their Evo-node. I know they won't like me for this, but still. They solved their problem, however, this is one for the record:
I/O rate: 14.0 MB/second
dd is not IO.
Reposting one of my posts in the cest pit from February . The results were from a HostSlim / VPSSlim node. A few hours after the test results were taken the overloaded node ran out of disk space (not the first time it had run out of disk space) and crashed

I once had a Host1Free VPS. I had a ~0.1MB/s dd result once. It was horrible.
No, it is actually a VPS I have with a well known provider, and that was the lowest speed I got, but it varies from usually 3MB/s - 50MB/s. All my progs were working OK, just did 3x dd now and got 8, 48, 28 MB/s.
