Cheap High storage VPS Wanted

Looking for a centos 6 VPS for a good deal, very low budget to start with. May increase if I sell memberships.
RAM: 1GB - 2GB ?
Storage: 2TB - 3TB (3 if possible, but 2 is fine to start with)
Bandwidth: 4TB - 5TB
Speed: 100Mbit - 1Gbit
Not running a huge website, mostly just giving people links to files on my server and they direct download it. Simple enough right? But I have a low budget, so give me some numbers to work with and see what it will cost me.
Thanks!

Tell us your budget?
i have one with @time4vps and been running pretty good.
recommended!
Less than $30 to start?
That should be something providers here can work with. Just wait a bit and you are probably going to get some good offers.
They do look good! 2TB for 7.99 Eur? That's great!
has anyone done a review on them yet or have feedback about them?
most of the people having good service from the providers don't bother to write reviews, and when they have minor problem they run at 180km/h and start bashing the providers.
Does the VPS come with Centos 6? or Ubuntu?
Yes!

Time4vps has a good reputation here and are supposed to be very reliable. You will not get a better deal for that price. And if I am not wrong, you can install Centos or Ubuntu, which ever u want.
go with ( ZXPlay , time4vps ) both at the same time.
Eu or US
time4vps
@Infinity can probably do something for you
I can personally suggest you Backupsy.
They are some of the cheapest backup/storage VPS providers.
I have a dedicated server from SOYOUSTART. It's about 2 days old and has until 28 days till it expire. It was bought for a school project which was cancelled so I am willing to transfer it ownership to anyone for a decent offer. The hardware specs is as followed.
Processor Intel Xeon E3 1225v2
Cores/Threads 4 cores/ 4 threads
Frequency 3.2 GHz+
RAM 16GB DDR3
Disks 2 x 2 TB SATA
RAID Soft
Network connection 1 Gbps
Bandwidth 250 Mbps
Traffic Unlimited
IPv4 1
IPv6 /64
Anti-DDoS Included
Failover IP 16 included and up to 128 as an option ( £1.69 excl. VAT /month/IP (or £2.03 incl. VAT) )
Backup space 100 GB (included)/Up to 10 TB as an option.
Please send me a message if want any additional information about the server.
I've filled up my 2tb time4vps with no issues.
With the exception of the single core limitation (I've asked support to consider raising it to 2 cores for the largest storage plans) and the absence of kernel fuse module, I see absolutely no drawbacks to these plans for sheer bang for buck.
Also, their openvz kernels are pretty up to date and they communicate maintenance and repair windows with sufficient notice.
What was their reply to you asking for a second CPU core? I got a 2TB from them and it was setup within 10 minutes which is fast for a VPS! LOL
But I see the 1 cpu core also a drawback right now. The 400Mbit/s to each vps independently is a good thing!
No it's not
I've bought 8 VPS so far, and that is the fastest so far. All the others took at least 1 hour. I was basing my statement on my experience.
Lol , I've bought like 15 vps and all 1-5 minutes setup
They have Ubuntu/debian templates too BTW. You can re-install and view the new root password under the Manage services page for your VPS.
SpeedyKVM.com can meet that, Storage Plan 3 has;

@Virpus You may wish to read the rules. http://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/15263/lowendtalk-rules-and-guidelines#latest
take it in mind if you go with Incero the owner is an ass and extremely rude and un-polite also expect price changes randomly (see this on WHT too)
Go for a more reliable host like OVH or online.net
Okay so I went with time4vps.eu
When I first go it, speeds were amazing steady and good, like 30MB/s as expected.. But now when I do direct downloads from it, I get maybe 1MB/s (about 10mbit.) and that's really really bad. I submitted a ticket asking about it, but all they told me was "it's possible to be a IO limit of read/write"
Problem I have with that is, it was working just fine the first 5 days I paid for it. Fast download and upload.. now some more days later, it gets terrible. I'm not complaining about them, just that the speed isn't the way it should be, or was. I'd rather stick with them, and just get the speed fixed. But all they are currently giving is excuses and not actually saying "We've investigated this thoroughly and found you are transferring too much at once. Try only doing one download at a time" or "Our routers had an issued and we fixed it! try again now."
Get what I'm saying? Has any other customers of them had this issue yet with the speed starting really fast, then going down?
I am not sure how much RAM you have, but create a test file stick it in the RAM disk and then point apache to the RAM disk, retry your download. That moves the issue away from the harddisk, if its still slow then start looking at network.
Maybe find someone else on their network and try to download/upload from them, then you can also determine whether its a local network or off-net issue.
Hands down zxplay
Where is Sherlock when we need him @gm2015?
Are you in EU? I can max out my Kimsufi's 100M uplink to them.(10.5 MB/s from Gravelines, a stone's throw from UK).
Also, check 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' to ensure your CPU wasn't auto-throttled. (value of 'cpu MHz' should be 1897.750)
