Time4VPS - Free bandwidth upgrade and other changes
I received this mail, I share with you:
Hello,
We would like to announce few changes to our services. These changes are made regarding gathered feedback from you and other Time4VPS customers.
Increased bandwidth allocation
As most of our clients demanded - we increased bandwidth allocation to all our service packages for free. Now, you can get up to 40 TB of bandwidth per single VPS! More details about increased bandwidth bellow.
Standard VPS
XS plan - 1 TB bandwidth
S plan - 2 TB bandwidth
M plan - 4 TB bandwidth
L plan - 8 TB bandwidth
XL plan - 16 TB bandwidth
KVM Linux and KVM Windows VPS
Linux 1 / Windows 1 - 10 TB bandwidth
Linux 2 / Windows 2 - 20 TB bandwidth
Linux 3 / Windows 3 - 40 TB bandwidth
Storage VPS
1 TB - 10 TB bandwidth
2 TB - 20 TB bandwidth
4 TB - 40 TB bandwidth
Updated IOPS and port speed limits
In order to adjust massive bandwidth increase we have balanced IOPS and port speed settings for better performance and stability. Changes are listed bellow.
Standard VPS
XS plan - 100 Mbps / 100 IOPS
S plan - 100 Mbps / 100 IOPS
M plan - 200 Mbps / 200 IOPS
L plan - 300 Mbps / 300 IOPS
XL plan - 400 Mbps / 400 IOPS
KVM Linux and KVM Windows VPS
Linux 1 / Windows 1 - 100 Mbps / 400 IOPS
Linux 2 / Windows 2 - 200 Mbps / 400 IOPS
Linux 3 / Windows 3 - 400 Mbps / 400 IOPS
Storage VPS
1 TB - 100 Mbps / 200 IOPS
2 TB - 200 Mbps / 200 IOPS
4 TB - 400 Mbps / 200 IOPS
IPv6 support for Standard and Storage VPS
Yes, finally IPv6 is here! If you don't have your own IPv6, just re-install OS in your Standard or Storage VPS. IPv6 will be enabled by default. At the moment we provide 1 usable IPv6 address.
Planned features for summer
We have massive list of features we would like to implement! Thank you for feedback, your opinion help us to develop our services better by each day. On to-do list there is:
Native IPv6 support for KVM VPS
Reverse DNS for IPv6
Snapshots for KVM VPS
Redesigned client area (including service search by name/ip)
Comments
Tl;dr lowered port speed, increased bandwidth and increased IOPs.
Did this affect the old 512GB storage plan as well ?
So the 1 TB is useless now with a crappy 100mbit port only....
Not overly sure why this is your opinion. They are backup servers. 100Mbit seems fair to me for backups
From 400 down to 100 is a noticeable change.
I didn't expected see this Why they don't add tutorial how to enable IPv6 on 'old' vps?
Yes!
Test fio
Good luck when restore > 10 GB .
If I remember correctly they advertised speed up to 250 Mbps, but before contract end they lower the speed.
Not fair right?
The good news is : their speed stable 100 Mbps it's better than 250 Mbps before
almost certain it requires a reinstall, the module just isn't there
maybe if you have them load it manually
make sense thanks;
Hello,
news going fast around here .
Few points to clarify:
Goals of this change:
Before submitting rage post on these changes, take a look at your VPS average port speed usage and review IOPS use.
This also has the side effect of nudging away the 'undesirable' clientele and offer better average performance for 99% clients.
@time4vps I'm fine with 200mbit port on my 2TB storage, but perhaps you could offer higher than 100mbit port speed to 1TB storage users, especially if they already paid biennially.
It would leave a sour taste in the mouth of someone who ordered for longer periods.
(I'm not counting the 512gb unsustainables. Those are gems, worth it just for the storage alone.)
Does my 500gb VPS now have 50mbps?
You can review that information anytime in your VPS panel. Why do you think that you have 50 Mbps?
Hello ,
They are lower port speed , when you ticket this problem for them , They are rejected this problem and said all thing ok , I create 2 times for this subject ticket , But they are rejected
Interesting. Please provide me with those 2 ticket ID's. I will personally review them. We do not simply "reject", all issues are addressed if it's technically possible/doable.
I don't understand how you can change to existing customers. I have a 1 TB bi-annual plan user and now in te middle of my plan you change the functionality I have pre-paid for.
Existing customers that prepaid for two years should be able to cancel with refund for remaining months. I consider these changes to be bait and switch which is illegal.
Sounds like they oversold maybe and are fixing their poor business decisions.
What, that's backwards. They're storage/backup servers, users mostly shouldn't care about iops or about being able to copy the whole vps multiple (>2) times in a month, it's only seeders etc. who care about that. But storage users DO care about being able to transfer at reasonable speed. 100 mbps is 24 hours to move 1 terabyte.
This change is definitely a downgrade. Product is no longer attractive compared to what else is out there. I don't feel likely to buy any more. Glad this happened when it did as I was planning to get another 1TB soon.
If it was really in response to "customer demand" how about making it available to customers who want it, while leaving customers who don't want it able to keep the old settings.
Can someone tell me the port speed of the 512gb plan at this point?
this sounds like a downgrade to me
Agreed
I've addressed this later in the para . I too feel it should be over 100mbit.
It's a bit harsh of a cap, on 'burst speed'.
200mbit is sufficient for pushing backups from my online.net servers on average.
22MB/sec is what I typically get.
The flag of Lithuania is very bad.
Still 100mbit, just tested mine to see if it's still usable! and it is. 1gbps would've been awesome though
I think even originally it was 100Mbps, wasn't it?
@time4vps I will be canceling my storage vps due to the port speed downgrade. 100 Mbps is not an acceptable speed to retrieve my backups.
In their KB, they still say:
Is it something different? Not the port speed being discussed on this thread?
No it was more like 200-300 or sometimes a bit better, depending.
The original storage plans were 100Mbps at some point, then 400, now 100 again.
I'd be really happy if they provided 200mbps. 100 is a little too slow these days though
Instead of free bandwidth upgrade, why don't they advertise this as a free port speed downgrade? Oh right.
