BuyVM transfer speed between Vegas and Buffalo

Anyone out there using BuyVM in Vegas and Buffalo?
Interested in hearing about transfer throughput speeds between the two locations.
What are folks getting so far?

Using Wget from buffalo to Las vegas
Length: 170589602 (163M) [application/zip]

100%[======================================>] 170,589,602 564K/s in 7m 38s
overall I am not too pleased with the Vegas VPS, however it was just as slow in San Jose so its not so much the network but the node I am on
Ouch @jmainguy that's not what I was expecting for throughput.
Buffalo vps downloads Las Vegas test file
That looks better @happel.
Getting 3M/s from same Vegas facility on the BuyVM speedtest in NY.
Didn't realize BuyVM had speedtest files. Thanks!
This is a bit strange, from the other side of the pond:
From Buffalo:
The speeds vary a bit from 400KB/s to 6MB/s
I also got variation, started with 100K and grew to almost 5 M/s to the end
@Maounique, I routinely see faster speeds to US files like these from Europe.
It happens frequently in my testing. Obviously enough to be noted. Maybe 1/3 of the tests.
I have no clue why US-to-US traffic would be stomped on so much and thus lower throughput while faster from overseas.
I promise I am going to start keeping track of the odd tests I find and share with folks. Often scratching my head. Who knows, maybe group collaborative issue could help figure out the puzzle.
Wondering how much the Telia route from Vegas to LAX handoff to Telia LAX to Telia Vegas might contribute to latency and throughput low ceiling we are seeing.
Recently was miffed by Telia elsewhere with their high latency, goofy big hop traceroute and low throughput....
Then again, I just ran a speed test from Fiberhub to BuyVM's speedtest file.

41 seconds to download that.
Now let's try with axel 4 threads:

Better, but still slower than I'd expect.
Getting 8.7MB/s testing NY speed file from United Kingdom.
Other US locations testing that file get 15-20MB/s...
We're maxing out our LACP performance as far as I can tell.
It's nice to see that Rob really does do a good job, but it sucks that I just can't squeeze anymore out of it.
I'm going back to Vegas towards the end of the month and will be wiring in a 10gig link with them as well as building some more storage nodes.
We started hitting the software slow down end of things pretty fast once we got to Vegas, where as in SJ we never ever saw the limits of software LACP.
Francisco
10gig link? Who are you hitching that up to?
Feed us more
Fiberhub? :P
I could get Rob to do the maint for us but I'd rather be onsite for anything major like that.
Besides, Karen wants to fill a bunch of rack space with more storage nodes so I may as well do both at once.
Francisco
Ahh, I see more bandwidth to the facility. Thought you might be bringing in your own provider to aggregate or something fancy
Storage = good. People are snapping those up.
Rob has a crap ton of connectivity and has abovenet due at some point soon
Francisco
Abovenet rocks. Have them in mix in Texas and really good network because of Abovenet.
I can't wait for abovenet to get peered up
Francisco
Well, inside BuyVM Vegas and Buffalo networks now.
Testing throughput and finding about 4-6MB/s download from NY via their Vegas nodes. Fluctuates greatly from test to test.
That's good enough for now. It's double what I would see in San Jose, on the low 4MB/s end compared to 2MB/s in SJ.
