Hetzner dedi or Netcup vds -- which has better speed to USA?

EthanZou

For US end users, which one has better connection speed to them?

loay

Hetzner for sure.

Catixs

Dedi - A bit more configurations e.g. installing OS, configuring RAID
VDS - One-shot configurations within the Netcup CCP.

Depending on the project you are working with.
Choosing something local might be better.

There is a reason providers have test files and IPs.

Why not Netcup? Its 2.5Gbit/s-Port while Hetznet is 1Gbit/s.

So EU servers is not a good idea for US end users?

It's not dedicated and I had some problems with netcup. Check php-friends or avoro if you are looking for a faster link speed. I agree with others that you have to test each provider and go with something local for better performance.

Many thanks to all of you.

Importend is that u tune the receive and congestion Buffers
for example ( put that in your /etc/sysctl.conf and load it with sudo sysctl -p )

net.core.rmem_max = 33554432
net.core.wmem_max = 33554432
net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 87380 33554432
net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 4096 65536 33554432
net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=bbr

Thanks a lot!
And how about latency?
