SRV4u [Malaysia] cheap promo VPS benchmark and review
I recently purchased a dual core Malaysia VPS from the SVR4U / @bbmmsvr4u promo here on LET. After running it for a (short) while I did benchmark it.
Here are the results, based on >= 30 runs over >=24 hours. First sysinfo, processor, and memory.

Not a speed demon but really OK. Also, all flags are available on the Xeon Platinum.
Let's look at the disk performance.

Not great but "good enough". Hint: this is a VPS in Malaysia, so (a) my main interest is connectivity, and (b) that whole region works differently from what I'm used to.
Now, to the "meat", connectivity.

Europe - half-way reasonable. HE doesn't do its worst job here ...
Positive side note: otenet in Greece is reached! (Something rarely seen).
Asia/Oceania - Let's start on a positive note: SA, Riyad is reached and even shows a not too bad result. India reasonably decent, SGP with over 250 Mb/s and HongKong with over 200 Mb/s are kind of nice as well. China, for which I show multiple results, is, uhm, ... half-cooked, some targets are really great with over 80 Mb/s, some are OK with 50 to 60 Mb/s, and some are mediocre with about 30 Mb/s. To be fair though, well: HE + Cogent at work, meaning e.g. those packets are routed via FR, Marseille, DE, FR and the back via some chinese provider, yuck!
Malaysia 300+ Mb/s on the one hand sounds good but on the other hand, hey, that's basically just around the corner. The results for Cambodia aren't exactly great with 50-ish Mb/s, but hey, at least it's reached (which it's often not from other providers), Indonesia with a bit over 160 Mb/s is nice, though, and so is Japan with 120+ Mb/s. Ozzyland isn't bad at all with almost 70 Mb/s, but Kiwiland is kind of poor (but at least reached!).
Africa - just let's not talk about it (also routed via FR, Marseille. Of course! It's HE after all ...)
Americas - HE that is, East Coast targets are routed via Tokyo, Pacific, Seattle. And West Coast targets, at least in part, are routed via FR, Marseille, Atlantic, across the whole country. It seems that the HE people never looked at a world map or like to play the game "Let's find the weirdest worst routes - and then use them!".
Summary/verdict: this review risks to sound negative, but I'm actually quite happy with my VPS (Well HE's imbecile shenanigans aren't the provider's fault!).
Why? Because with a cheap(!) VPS in Asia I'm mainly after connectivity there, in Asia and care little about the processor (although it's really OK!) or the disk, as long as it's not outright crappy (which it isn't).
Plus bonus points for the provider because they really try hard to get better.
In case you live in Asia and look for a fast VPS with really good global connectivity, you might want to look elsewhere (but you'll pay more).
