A 40gbps and 100gbps -LowEnd- Non-Dedi Thread! Chime in with offers!

in General
I thought it time, since several LET/LEB providers are now offering 10gbps nics at reasonable prices, to start a 40/100gpbs thread where providers could chime in!
I don't expect too many 100gbps offerings, but the 40gbps nics are dirt cheap, and lots of providers have them already.
Please note - ideally this thread is just for LowEnd KVM/VPS boxes. No dedicated servers, colos, or racks space offerings. There are plenty of great providers of those here, and they're easy to find.

I don't think that that is going to happen.
40GbE for interconnect between two servers is something you can expect, but not more than 10Gbps for VPS.
Which provider would allow anyone to rent a VPS and use 40Gbps of their bandwidth?
I was thinkering of doing so - to be honest, most VPS rarely dont use 100Mbps and blocking 40Gbps of capacity on the infrastructure, is costly, if you calculate with 100Gbps being at least a 8-10k invest on DWDM already.
The speedtest server that you connected to in order to achieve 27 Gbps was hosted by Aeza themselves, so it was basically internal traffic (not external). We can also do that given that each of our host nodes is connected with 40 Gbps NICs and we run speedtest servers in some locations
But in reality, KVM virtual machines are unlikely to go beyond past 20-25 Gbps, I assume there are some limitations with what a virtual NIC can handle in those cases. It doesn't make sense for a VPS to be using >10 Gbps anyways, that use case is very niche and handling those bursts are costly.
Yes, exactly. Everything about 10Gbps is commitment-only here, that improves network quality and reduces congestion.
Exactly. I have numerous numerous vps nodes where customers have 10g vps. Sometimes one Peak Like 3-4g but Most of The time they are under 0,5-1gbit each.
Yeah, just wanted to show it, even if internal traffic, not too bad. There are some locations that are not nearby UK (Hungary) where there's a 12 Gbps peak. That's their cheapest plan with only a single core and 2 GB of RAM, advertised 10 Gbps but can reach even more than that.
EDIT: I'm doing a network test again right now, there's some 20 Gbps too
Awesome! I honestly didn't expect this much feedback so quickly!
Thanks!
I entirely agree that sustained 10gbps+ is not a realistic use case. It doesn't make economic sense for providers to build, and while consumers always want more for less, most sit fairly idle, outside bursts.
My $.02 on burstable: That is exactly the use case! Super low latency and high bandwidth increases actual throughput! Even if sustained usage isn't what providers engineer for, the user experience improvesI guess. (yes, rtt and where you're going are huge factors, but, it's a start!)
Anyway, awesome to see providers engaging with details!
We have some VPS options coming out soon which will have 40G nics on the units itself some with 100G ports.
The problem is offering those types of port speeds for the average budget costs is just not realistic and people expect to get those speeds all the time.
Even with our 100TB on 10Gbps we have people expecting those to be dedicated and that they should be able to push 10G unmetered on everything the whole month. Not everyone is like this but a decent chunk of people do and that's on a dedicated server. A $10 a month VPS makes that more tricky to offer. Our plan is to offer a nice higher capped speed with higher bandwidth limits. We shall see. Most likely annual plans with higher caps maybe more appealing to offer.
Wow, that 8.51EUR/month plan with unmetered bandwidth has upwards of 27Gbits network speeds? That's insane, how do they afford it?
Tax fraud I hope
Thought bookkeeping was for "nerds" - sentenced to prison
A 35-year-old man registered in Uppsala is sentenced to prison for one year and four months after he repeatedly cheated on his taxes and failed to keep accounts.

I'm pretty sure maxkvm was selling 40gbps VPS through datapacket leased servers...but that didn't seem to work out. Seems the dude died or something, I never was able to identify any owners of semiband llc who owned maxkvm. seems like a big fraud situation.
We run 100GbE to all of our VM hypervisors and have done for the past few years. Happy to do offers with 40GbE nic's in London as we have the capacity there where it could make sense.
That being said it would cost significantly more than normal as we'd have to essentially reserve 40% of one of our HV nodes to give you the guaranteed burst.
I don't really see any reality in where 40GbE VM nodes make sense for the provider, even advertising 10GbE VM's still seems to be a magnet for abuse right now.
Interesting topic.
Most of VPS & servers in my collection are now 10Gbps and above.
Technically competent provider enables SR-IOV on the NIC and provides a PCI virtual function passthrough to each KVM.
It's then possible to exceed 75 Gbps (dedicated cores needed).
$7/month 100Gbps unmetered when?
That's a wet dream category: 100 Gbps + Low end. Some entire DCs run on 20 Gbps...

This!
(tho I've only seen ~60Gbps, but I blame other bottlenecks...)
Does anybody even have these? Top I’ve seen is 25Gbps… can anyone offer me better? I had a quick look about but couldn’t find much.
Our Kansas City VPS is connected with a 40G port, but on a virtual NIC, I'm not sure you could reach that far.

This is running on a Kansas City VPS.
Where have you seen 25Gbps?!
Granted, lots of the big clouds have 25/40/100Gbps nics, and many even do spot hourly pricing, which is nice, but I haven't really seen too many LET providers chime in...
and the ones willing to even think about it have already piped up on this thread!
@PureVoltage @advinservers @AS203446 @HostSlick @jh_aurologic :
any updates or offers on the 10Gbps+ front?!

Ignore this post. Just saw its non-dedi.
So i dont have anything for you.
