  Please note, I don't expect the performance on Delimiters backup slot server to match that of my other server. One is a more shared environment, and the other is much more controlled by me.

  That is awful performance, I would open a support ticket on that. Something VERY wrong with that result.

  It should look more like this:

  
  
  CPU model :  Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           L5630  @ 2.13GHz
  
  Number of cores : 4

  Total amount of ram : 23967 MB
  
  Total amount of swap : 0 MB
  
  System uptime :   10 days, 15:51,
  
  Download speed from CacheFly: 110MB/s
  
  Download speed from Coloat, Atlanta GA: 68.9MB/s

  Download speed from i3d.net, Rotterdam, NL: 13.3MB/s
  
  Download speed from Leaseweb, Haarlem, NL: 20.4MB/s

  I am currently talking to Delimiter about my VPS performance as per a request by @MarkTurner, after they have determined it is fixed I will update my post.

  Both Dacentec & Delimiter have been great to me. Delimiter slaughters every other budget provider for network though. As Nyr said, different offers, nothing to hate over - but MarkTurner is right about he network being the difference.

  Download test (that doesn't really mean much, but you can see the difference):

  Delimiter ATL:

  err, wasn't formatted properly. but dacentec results I get, aren't much different from that. except Atlanta is much slower, and Washington is much faster.

  a 'real' test would run some continuous transfer for at least 15 minutes
