Hehe, deserved my vote, again, keeping their promises faster than I expected.

It should also be noted our private networking is private. You can only communicate with your machines. Other customers instances are not reachable (unlike some of our competitors)!

I consider that more as a feature than as a bug. It's free bandwidth.

What do you mean only? Since when would a private network ever need more than 1 Gbps?

I think the point to be made here is that its 1Gbps shared between all customers, alot of the time private networks can be slower than the public network due to heavy usage by noisy neighbours taking advantage of the free bandwidth (e.g pushing backups).

More fool them for keeping backups in the same facility.

Now they only need to keep their DDoS protection promises.

Have people had trouble with their DDoS protection in the past?

Interesting results, the bottom one is through private networking. Both in london, test server is still up if anyone else wants to try.
