Might be my first time here seeing one-time upgrades for hardware. Usually hosts like to get as much as they can get for additional capability. Even Hetzner charges 1.6 EUR/mo for a 16GB USB stick.
Best of luck on LET!
Just saying it the way I see it. Barely half the advertised speed to a very close location smells oversold.
The rest of it is barely reaches one 1G if even close, some are around 200-300mbps which is like 1/20th of the advertised speed.
Ram provided is 1066 or 1333?
Nor one:
Unlikely to have 10Gbps across the world. Potentially up to 10 Gbps for specific locations (AZ, LA, etc) and its direct peering. May not even be entire country.
But I still think that worth the price.
Oh now that's sweet. I'll be opening a ticket for that 1TB SSD upgrade.
warning:There are five default L4 rules that you cannot remove, two of which allow BattleMetrics and Tebex RCON IP, then two that disable the GRE and IPIP protocols to prevent you from reselling their traffic cleaning services, and most critically the last one: BLOCK ALL from 0.0.0.0/0. In other words, if you have any service you want to use, you have to resolve it within the 100 available rules, TCP and UDP are counted separately and you can't add more than one port at a time, which means the maximum number of available ports is 100.

Ooh, its really bad...
I am waiting for a reply,maybe they will say it is not true
Anyone can do a bench monster us speedtest* on LAX or PHX?
Thank you.

curl -LsO bench.monster/speedtest.sh; bash speedtest.sh -ussYes, in firewall settings there appear max up to 100 rules to add (to have 100 ports opened/allowed/"whitelisted"). But for ppl who do not need just millions of opened ports still it is pretty enough (like me, where i need cheap dedicated with basic often used ports are all i need = tens of ports not hundreds).
(If you need millions of port, maybe is possible ask via ticket for adding more allowed rules into firewall config interface?)
IMO: When i consider all param (incl. it's unmetered, strong aDDos in price, and total UNIQUE - one time payment/lifetime HW upgrade etc) and their cheap prices, still rate what you pay and what you get is AWESOME and never seen better (or similar) offer for 10G (switchport/shared) dedicated, all time here
Of course, no one forces someone who is not satisfied to buy, but he can find a better and more valuable offer elsewhere (what i personally do not believe that will found something similar & comparable ever elsewhere)
BTW: i am new customer but support is pretty fast (or at the least pretty responsive) yet too - instant replies in both day & night
Yes i can, as wished:
While you are correct on the limit of 100 rules, we do allow you to increase this amount for a fee. Most customers end up not hitting the 100 rule limit, as depending on the services being used, you can whitelist Source IPs to all ports.
The price to increase firewall rules would be $10/mo for an additional 20 rules and filters.
Here is two SpeedTests I ran on one of the Phoenix X9SCE machines :

Yes, I can confirm this:

But it looks like the HDD disk is the bottleneck.
We do offer upgrades on the Phoenix machines
Thank you.
What are the expected HDD/SSD models?
While I do not have the exact models, Tempest only uses high-end brands for hardware, such as our NVMe's on all other machines are either Samsung or Sabrent.
Right. These SSD offered are sata ones. Correct?
Correct.
Hey there Folks,
We have received numerous requests for a test IP and test download files for our Phoenix location and we have setup a server for this purpose. Please see the below information:
There is plenty of available stock remaining and the sale is still running until January 31st at 11:59:59pm UTC. Some great deals to be had
Hello Peter and Bushhy. What is the cost for an additional IPv4 address?
EDIT: nevermind, I found the answer, $3/mo https://help.tempest.net/en/article/can-i-purchase-additional-ips-147mv4i/
@PeterP
how long does it typically take for you to install drives? I've been waiting since Sunday and there's no update.
It seems that you have to wait about 1week for installing drives.
Yesterday I opened a ticket and got this reply.
Just out of curiosity, did you have added HDD or SSD drives?
Yeah,I opened a ticket and paid 40$ to upgrade the 1TB HDD to a 1TB SSD.
Is the PHX-X9SCE able to have 2x1TB SSD for RAID-1?
(I clarified in the ticket too) Yes, 40$ each and you need to wait for a week.
ipv4/ipv6?
