That's on a dedicated server with Xeon Gold processor (hyperthreading disabled) and ConnectX-5 Ethernet adapter (MTU set to 9000).
Great, you aren't going to do that on a basic virtualized virtio interface.

You get capped if you abuse... (Abuse means bashing the allotted cpu 24/7 and pushing the bw to the maximum 24/7) Please correct your knowledge else I am getting a strong feeling that English is not your forte...
Can you get capped? Sure
Francisco
That's mbit per second, that's all I can think you're confused about.
100Mbit/sec 24/7 is 1TB per day, in each direction. This means a 4GB plan can do 32TB a month in each direction at minimum. We have many that push closer to 200mbit/sec.
By the 200mbit/sec mark their app's maxing out a core and they need more CPU.

I don't think you will be able to find VPS with unmetered gigabit port for $3.5 or $7.
At BuyVM, you won't get throttled if you use entire bandwidth in short bursts. It is just that you cannot use it 24x7.
You can't slam a 1gig all day for $7/m.
We have lots of TOR users using more than their plan allows, and they're fine.
Again, we do our best to keep things roomy.
Francisco
Well my experience with the BuyVM only lasted 3 days because they didn't like me using 5MB/s to transfer data.
I don't think any provider out there would consider this abuse besides BuyVM.
Have you ticketed at all and asked for help? It could be a bad route, it could be a NIC in the node needing a firmware update.
You really should ticket for help. We mostly don't bite.

so the server for vpn purposes you cant use it .. if you want to download something for hours simple you cant ...
You can’t do math then.
Even the smallest plan has a minimum guarantee of 6tb month many doing double or more.

@Francisco
Thanks for the bandwidth replies and detailed description of the graded approach to achieve load balancing.
Now I am completely sure that I was not mistaken in choosing a provider
Entirely different experience. I bashed the CPU and Block storage in LV (Downloading torrents, unpack, then rclone to Google Drive) and never had any complaint. Then i forgot to pay and cba to buy a new one now
Ah. That's beyond my expertise/involvement
But thank you for clearing it up.
I guess I will keep looking.
Cheers!
It’s very easy to setup and we will gladly help you for tree.
Just ask.
Francisco
Sorry how many trees would you need?
Goddammit.
Not fixing it.
Francisco
That's very kind of you.
But since I am looking for my extremely low usage (few top private trackers only - 10-20GB a month max download to my local laptop, without zero care for ratio - just keep it there for 3-4 days and HnR satisfied and done) Seedbox it might not be worth your while (in fact you might discourage it) and price-wise it might not be suitable for me - as in a classic VPS, I could land something like what Time4VPS is offering (except for their too low speed and ancient OS/etc) for their 1TB storage VPS but with a BuyVM slice and then slabs it will already overshoot by quite some when it comes to price. I really don't use my personally managed seedbox anymore like I used it 4-5 years ago so anything costing more than 20-30 per year/TB won't make much sense. On the other hand if someone gives me 1TB disk and 200-500GB monthly traffic at great price I'll happily take it
so you get the drift that it is actually low usage. (I am on LiteServer right now. 30 per year. Everything is great and painfully underused except that it's just 500GB and that pinches)
I am sorry if it eventually turned out to be disappointing
No, not looking for anything important or critical.
PS. I have used your VPS for laptop backup back in the day - I was playing with attic, borg, rsync, rclone etc in those days. It was a good experience. Though later I moved to Kimsufi (which was not good at all). Just saying glad to see some good/stable/old providers still around.
