Small Review of BUYVM KVM SLICE 512 Luxembourg
Hello. I had ordered BUYVM KVM SLICE 512 Luxembourg about 6 month ago. Now writing small review.
Most of LET user know about BUYVM / frantech Solutions as quality, cheap provider and i can confirm that is true. I have no problem with them that 6 month. Was 2 downtime in 6 month, first downtime was planned (about 30 min), second was not planed about 5 min. Network is greate for me but 1 year ago was better then now for my mind. i had 100 Mbit/s from 100Mbit/s over OpenVPN. Today i can get about 70-80Mbits/s but price today are lower because of new offer KVM SLICE 512 20/year.
I can't said about other KVM in others locations but KVM in LU are quality and cheap. I think you can't find any KVM in LU for that price and with that quality.
That why I thinks that BUYVM / frantech Solutions great. Thanks to @Francisco for that great offer in Luxembourg and that you are such awesome provider

Try Wireguard for speed and ping comparison, you may be pleasantly surprised.
The question is, could you cut through it easily, like butter?
I wanted but i use opnsense as home router and Wireguard gui in dev version only. I'm not good at network configs and can be many bugs that will disturb me all time. And i have about 7 different VPN providers but not one have Wireguard.
Thank you for the review, I love reviews like this where it includes benchmarks
.
Thanks
If you ticket I bet I can get the speeds up more.
We've been dealing with a interrupt issue on our nodes due to some buggy software in the latest Debian builds. I've got a fix for it, but I've been rolling it out slowly to make sure there's nothing that catches fire.
Francisco
Hey Fran, these slices look absolutely great. I hope not too many more E3 nodes get built though. Higher core count CPUs are getting more cost effective now, and will allow more smoothing of CPU load. The new Ryzens (coming next month) supposedly have single thread performance as good as Intel.
I'm keeping an eye on them
The problem with CPU swaps is you get people that only want that CPU, so any platform change we do have to be a global swap.
Vultr goes through this where people order/cancel/order/cancel until they get on a CPU they want.
Francisco
I don't think you need a global swap. Just make it a new product that costs a little more than the old one but offers about the same value, based on scaling benchmark scores or by adding a little more ram or ssd. Then almost everyone will prefer the new one (but will still buy the old when it's in stock) and you can gradually phase out the old one.
The new cpus will also allow bringing some price relief to the current higher end plans. The small slices are great but I can't personally see myself buying the current large ones instead of getting a dedi.
I.e. if the new one benches 10% faster, add 10% more ram and ssd and charge 10% more for it, or sth like that. Small price delta and the overall value proposition is about the same. ~~~~
LOL that's exactly what I do, only with VULTR's IPs :-). They're probably wondering why this guy is spinning up 10+ VMs at a time, repeat.
I have tested again because post old test of Geekbench and Serverscope that were made in january 2019.
New One here and they are worse that were in january 2019. CPU score have much lower results.
Geekbench4 #1 - https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/13574576
Geekbench4 #2 - https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/13574499
ServerScope.io - https://serverscope.io/trials/Y0eE
You can try, but i'm plan to cancel it on next billing. I'm post here result if you try. Ticket Created #131423.
I'll check it in the morning
Francisco
^^^ Yeah, this old Geekbench from January was indeed fantastically good.
^^^ These Geekbench results are probably more indicative of what one can expect (still good, but not fantastically good).
Nothing changed i think
in speedtest nothing change too
To be clear i use Persepolis Download Manager, it is gui for aria2c and it is download with 16 multi threads connections. My speed when download some file 10-11 MiB/s
Yea, buyVM performance pretty good, I shocked by this too, using for around several months no issues so far. From time to time I see notifications that the server is down, while it's not. Also their buyshared around the same like a VPS in terms of performance personally for me. I was shocked by this, never expected to see something like this on shared hosting, such good performance.
I would like to buy a VPS from BuyVM, but they don't provide Webmoney. So sad for me. I hope @Francisco will solve this issue in the near future.
You guys need to check htop/top when reaching such slow speeds. I had a similar issue on buyvm using their Ubuntu 16.04 template, where the smallest task would run the CPU to 100%. I first thought that its how its meant to be, considering the price. But then I installed Debian 9 from the templates and all was magically fixed. High speeds again, and no more 100% CPU usage.
Had that happen on all 3 locations, and can confirm that Debian 9 fixed it. So worth a shot.
Debian 9, thx
We had a funny one where Ubuntu 18.04 will give poor upload.
I'm thinking it's maybe related to the interrupt issue we've been working at.
I think our current router is just struggling a lot.
I have a new MX204 arriving on Monday and hopefully my HE port this coming week, so we'll see how that helps
Francisco
Won $50 LunaNode credit in the provider poll prize lottery, but in Toronto location. It really far from me. No any idea how to use it. @Francisco You are from Torronto as i know. Maybe exchange $50 LunaNode for 1 year for VPS SLICE 512. My VPS SLICE 512 will expired 1 of july, not planned to renew because not use it but may be couple of times i will use it or something change in future and i will need.
From LunaNode
Uh? I'm from Victoria, not Toronto. Complete opposite side of the country. :P
Francisco
O i meant Canada
.
Look you are from nice place if look at pic from this site tourismvictoria dot com
and nice climite:
speed not changed but Cpu score back to normal
UnixBench 1139.1
GeekBench 3191
Can't test if network will rise, because i'm canceled my VPS but you guys post here please when @Francisco add new MX204 router
.
Thanks @Francisco because of you so quality provider and stay that quality forever.
You did nothing but i found guy because of you that exchange my prize to what i need. Thanks
Hey @Francisco been using your service almost 10 months. Great support and service.
Why don't you have windows server 2019? It's so beautiful and light weight. In aws it does great job. Have that man - I'll buy some win servers.
Keep me posted if there's anything else you need
Should have more LU up shortly, just getting some other things done before then.
Waiting on details on a cross connect so I can light our HE port.
Francisco
I'lll hopefully work on a template this week
Francisco
Awesome! Can't wait to upgrade my LUX Slice
the performance has been really good.
I'm looking at BuyVM for a KVM VPS and almost everything looks very good, really. Looking at these benchmarks, performace is good. Respected company.
But I'm a bit concerned about the connectivity after reading this thread. I am right in saying that the LUX datacenter is essentially single homed behind Cogent?
I think there should be a caveat that the IPv6 on BuyVM Lux is tunneled, despite on the site it claimed "Native IPV6 connectivity". Although in most cases it should be hassle-free thanks to pMTUd, users of VPN (for example Wireguard) have to manually adjust the MTU in order to avoid fragmented packets.
