    One of the OG "top 3 holy trinity".

    Glad to see things are still going well over there :)

    TBH can't recommend them if you ever will use bandwidth, otherwise stable/good. Had service for at least 2+ years. Always idle. Ran a personal socks5 proxy, RamNet was like using any mb/s for more than a few minutes/sustained is not allowed and/or abuse (was probably 4-8mb/s probably no more than a hour or two, too long ago now). If you're in your bandwidth allotment and doing nothing illegal you shouldn't run into that. Never looked back... too many better alternatives.

    @Xie i'm not sure how long ago you had service with us, or what the details of your specific situation was, but at the present time we generally don't have any problem with users using the bandwidth at those levels.

    Just to say that "SSD" in the title is a little misleading. (This was pointed out the last time as well.)

    Is this SSD or spinning rust? Noticed it says hard drive in the post.

    Both. Storage configuration is hard drives in raid10 with enterprise ssd caching on top of that for higher performance.

    I can dig it

    it's a tinyKVM

    expecting solid uptime, stable performance - probably most suitable for low-bandwidth applications such as monitoring node, DNS, lightweight server duty

    got one in LA - seems to be in quadranet DC - seeing about 30 to 40 MB/s scp to and from servers at Psychz and ColoCrossing, and 25 MB/s to Fremont (freerangecloud, probably via HE). (Slower elsewhere, about 10 MB/s to Chicago, 6.5 MB/s to Amsterdam. Not tested many other locations since I just care about connectivity in West Coast US for this one.)

    CPU is generic QEMU clocked at 3100 MHz - doesn't have aes flag enabled as far as I can tell - which is probably why I'm seeing slower disk (and/or cache) speeds when writing to LUKS encrypted partition.

    Seems pretty consistent writing to LVM on LUKS on 64-bit Debian 9 at around 130 MB/s (probably could be improved considerably with some tuning on my end but is good enough as is for what I need it to do).

    I guess I'll wind up here, if vpsdime decides it's not worth it to upgrade the $7/yr birthday special openvz6 (crazy loss-leader) to at least OpenVZ7.

    @sanvit - the one I got in LA is in Quadranet DC

    stable so far (up 45 days since I got it) and feels pretty snappy

    maybe check ramhost.us (or Quadranet) for a looking glass - or send me a PM and I could put a test file up on nginx or whatever

    On a relaxed Saturday afternoon, I got to learn something new. Next I repeated the test for me. Here goes...

    'Hosted by Hivelocity Hosting (Dallas, TX) [27.56 km]: 3.372 ms
    Testing download speed……………………………………………………………………..
    Download: 850.70 Mbit/s
    Testing upload speed…………………………………………………………………………………………
    Upload: 4.02 Mbit/s'

    Thirdly, went ahead and rinsed and repeated for other VPS'es. And finally, got base material for a post on a new site where I am putting together a few learnings. All providers but one courtesy this forum! The objective was to share my results, not seo juice for a new site. Posting only because of relevance and yes a paying customer for TinyKVM..

    That upload speed you posted seems a little too slow. Maybe the speedtest servers are saturated?
    For the Gullo error, it's mostly OOM. Try speedtest-cli --no-pre-allocate

    @vyas11 - "underworldstartup" ...?

    Like, some real gangsta shit - or am I misinterpreting the intended connotation?

    Well it's all good in the hood I suppose.

    Anyhoo - just a heads up to make sure you do whatever necessary due diligence in terms of tuning your network stack - ie, maybe BBR makes a difference - and beware of trusting the benchmarks overmuch. @jsg may have some friendly advice to share along these lines (seriously - he probably does and might just be willing to explain it to us slowly and using simple words as though we may be of the severely cognitively impaired persuasion. :smiley: Be prepared to take it for what it's worth, possibly with several grains of salt - but it's often at least some good food for thought.)

    Cheers!

    Thanks... Yes, just like analyst reports, I take the BM tests with a grain of salt. Also tweaking things on the go.
    I had registered the domain for an as yet unfinished fiction novel. Some day in the future I may actually finish it....

    Sorry what is BBR?

    vyas11 said: Sorry what is BBR?

    https://github.com/google/bbr

    As per https://www.vultr.com/docs/how-to-deploy-google-bbr-on-centos-7

    BBR (Bottleneck Bandwidth and RTT) is a new congestion control algorithm which is contributed to the Linux kernel TCP stack by Google.

    I've recently heard it described as the "fuck this, and this, and also that" algorithm.

    It may increase throughput in some situations - not necessarily on a VPS but might be worth a try if seeing low speeds.

    EDIT2:

    Also - mtr is a most interesting indicator of bandwidth - will be interesting to compare with the speedtest-cli results. (Look for the mtr-tiny package available for many common linux distributions.)

    EDIT3: I meant to say iperf of course!

    # iperf --server
------------------------------------------------------------
Server listening on TCP port 5001
TCP window size: 85.3 KByte (default)
------------------------------------------------------------
[  4] local 199.180.xxx.xxx (tinyKVM / Quadranet LA) port 5001 connected with 185.198.xxx.xxx (HostHatch / Psychz LA) port 50180
[ ID] Interval       Transfer     Bandwidth
[  4]  0.0-10.0 sec   882 MBytes   739 Mbits/sec
^C

# iperf -c 185.198.xxx.xxx (HostHatch / Psychz LA)
------------------------------------------------------------
Client connecting to 185.198.xxx.xxx (HostHatch / Psychz LA), TCP port 5001
TCP window size: 85.0 KByte (default)

[  3] local 199.180.xxx.xxx (TinyKVM / Quadranet LA) port 51730 connected with 185.198.xxx.xxx (HostHatch / Psychz LA) port 5001
[ ID] Interval       Transfer     Bandwidth
[  3]  0.0-10.0 sec   915 MBytes   768 Mbits/sec

    So yeah - definitely compare notes with iperf :)

    Would recommend them. Been using them for hobby sites with no issues. Support is quick as well even though I’m from a different time zone.
