    Yes, in my cell phone. This is first linux phone from Nokia. It is designed in Finland and made in Korea. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_N900

    @LivingSoul - Please do that :)

    You really shouldn't be < 100MB/sec so there must be something quirky going on.

    I find your results very interesting. All are equal or slower than most of the lowendproviders commented here.

    @yomero The test is not the same though

    dd bs=1M count=256 if=/dev/zero of=test oflag=dsync;sync

    If LEB providers received $30 for what we charge $4-6 we could get away with 10 clients on a node as well.

    Certainly, thanks for noticing it :P

    It is okay man. I am not complaining at all. It has been up and stable since day one and that is what it is most important to me. :)
