I found a VPS in Houston for $5
Few providers offer VPS in Houston. I thought LET might be interested.
https://www.oplink.net/vps.html use KVM50 to get 50% off recurring.

Tempting offer
I've got a dedicated and a vps there. Good stable network.
semoweb does provide vps in Houston as well
They also have 50% off their lower range dedi and colo too
Nice to see good deals in Houston, but isn't everything pretty much backhauled to Dallas?
Anyone have a colo there? Do they charge "property tax" on the colo??
(I remember reading a thread on LET quite some time ago about Texas charging this on colo)
Who paid you $5 to find a VPS in Houston?
If someone offers to pay you $5 to find a VPS in Buffalo, do it - easy money.
What about a VPS in Buffalo with ipv6 support?
@teamacc
Even easier :P
(you never said native connectivity, so tunnelbroker it is
)

I can find VPS with /8 subnet which is very cheap. Only $1/mo.
Finding price: 550$.
IP range claimed, my vm setup already uses 10.0.3.0/24. That breaks your /8.
@teamacc
My subnet is other. No real problem here.
I don't think so. Mine traceroutes from Houston through Atlanta when going to NY. No Dallas hops.
@raindog308 Nobody paid me. I just wanted to share a good offer. The same thing I did with enahost with VPS in Greece. I search for rare locations as part of https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/102717/what-locations-am-i-missing-189-servers-so-far-with-map-and-provider-names/p1
Here are my results from Oplink.net:

This VPS is, to say the least, very good. It's peered with Cogent and Level3, and my ping from north Dallas is < 7ms (less than CC and LSN in downtown Dallas which hover around 7.5 ms). Disk I/O is around 1.5GB/s, again, top tier. The CPU is an Intel Xeon E3 1270v5 (released Q4 15). Speedtest is also attached:

I've got a colo box in Houston (job perks :P), Houston apparently has a direct line to 56 Marietta via Cockmast.
The last 4 lines say I/O in GB/s and Average I/O says it in MB/s
Disk Speed
I/O (1st run) : 1.5 GB/sI/O (2nd run) : 1.4 GB/sI/O (3rd run) : 1.5 GB/sAverage I/O : 1.46667 MB/sTheir price range (w/ off) is quite affordable considering dedicated resources, daily backups and quite a rare location.
This is probably something with the script, if I had to guess.
This is a known issue with the script. The average calculation cannot differentiate between MBs and GBs.
May I know which particular script are we talking about ?
looks like https://freevps.us/downloads/bench.sh
Yes, I was talking about the good old bench.sh
More news: upon opening a ticket today to ask a question about bandwidth overages, they told me they had a double bandwidth promotion currently, and upgraded me to 2TB (on the 1GB plan).
I've run that script so many times... probably never had a VPS with I/O crossing 1GB/s
