Thanks @mcmyhost
Added few Europe test files, here's from my Dedibox LT.
Oddly enough the download, thought it was a 200Mbps?
100mb test file from Dedibox SC DC3 to
1Gbps port
Ramnode (9.33 MB/s) WII (8.71 MB/s) Fliphost (7.19 MB/s)100Mbps port
OVH France (11.2 MB/s) OVH BHS (9.74 MB/s) Shardhost (4.91 MB/s) Frontrangehosting (2.15 MB/s) volumedrive (2.41 MB/s)I get 4.7MB/S From home out of a total possible 16MB/S
Gigaport port. But 150/200 guaranteed
Getting
704 Mbits/secinbound,354 Mbits/secoutbound on my "Dedibox® Classic + Gen2" from/to my DotVPS kvm in Maidenhead so it doesn't seem to be applied retroactively at least.It is only possible for a provider to guarantee that there will be enough capacity inside their network and that there will be enough capacity to their upstreams. They can't guarantee anything after the traffic hits a third party network. And they can't guarantee that any single destination will get 300 (or whatever) Mbps transfer speed on a single tcp connection.
It's nice of them to do that I thought they would have limit the speed to 200Mpbs.. but I guess it's on best available..
With OVH it's a 1Gbps port but they limit speed to 100Mbps, don't think I've gotten anything over that.
Perhaps it's only future orders that they're throttling more severely.
Wrong! Online.net's parent company Iliad ($3.1 billion annual revenues) is much bigger than OVH both in terms of revenue and their network in France. Online.net uses their sister company ISP Free.fr's network http://bgp.he.net/AS12322. A clue to the size of Online.net/Free's network capacity is the number of IPs originated 11 million vs only 1 million for OVH. Another clue is the traffic levels shown by peeringdb: Free SAS 1 Tbps+ vs OVH's 500-1000 Gbps.
tl;dr the much bigger Online.net/Free SAS has more traffic available to it than OVH has but they're throttling cheap server users.
This was true a few months ago.
Now they are using their own AS12876.

Didnt know that, thanks. However online.net free.fr might be based more on france/eu peering agreements, it might be that international lines are not so big but only guessing here.
If they were sitting on tons of traffic they would not start reducing available bw unless they detected heavy abuse and they are not prepared to cope with it for now and try to limit the damages.
The SC line has been reduced to 150mbps as well now
Yup, you're right..Guess that's what happens when you post things on LET.
It may be coincidence but makes you wonder..
I think the throttling has more to do with cutting costs to increase their profit margins and make their stockholders happy than it does with abuse.
related: Bloomberg had an article last week on Iliad/Free/Online.net's CEO Xavier Niel...his net worth is $8.1 billion. FYI, he got his start in business offering sex chat services on Minitel.

Haha, I have a minitel terminal
I also know quite a few people here that started with offering video chat with ifriends and camcontacts some 10 years ago.
You can use the
tags to make it much more formatted.
Dedibox Classic:
And a Nano 14.99 Euro:
tags to make it much more formatted.
Spanks, sorted it now.
The speeds from/to this box is shit after about 18:00-20:00 GMT+1 - Prior to that you get great speeds.
This only proves the point they are part of a big ISP, once the ppl are home they offer the traffic tot hem and only allow the excess to go for the dedi business.
Idk if has this todo with this problem but....
Just get hit by connection issues when we have about 88 Players connected
and CPU
Does online.net allow public trackers on their dedi seedbox
They don't offer any seedboxes at all, but i would assume they aren't too happy if you did use it for just that.
I asked them on Twitter whether they allow seedbox and their answer definitely YES.
could have looked on their forum, it has been posted many times.. and every answer is somewhat over the lines of why not.. as long as it doesnt cause problems for them
