It's 2019 almost and they don't offer metered gbit across their product lines...
That happened to me on a $27 Leaseweb server a year back...got 1Gbps instead of the advertised 100Mbps and it was awesome. I'm still upset at myself for letting that server go.
@ninzo59, an improvement in connection speed, at least for KS-7 and above, would be very welcome. Can this happen one day? The speed of 100 Mbps is making Kimsufi very outdated, today it is possible to reach the Gbit connection in VPS of 3 euros in other providers.
Gbit deployment is in progress, according to a tweet from 2014.
This information was given in 2014 and we are arriving in 2019. This only reduces my hopes. 5 years is a considerable time of waiting and they have not yet upgraded to 1 Gbit. Interestingly, the default is shifting to 10 Gbit on premium servers and 1 Gbit on standard servers (including VPS). Meanwhile, Kimsufi at 100 Mbps. To keep prices competitive, they could increase the connection by limiting traffic. It is better 15 TB at 1Gbit than 30TB at 100Mbps.
KIMSUFI:
Did you ask every customer if they would be OK to have their traffic limited? I would not, even for the Gigabit upgrade.
It was just an example of cost optimization. But rest assured, you will continue with your Kimsufi slow and "unlimited" for many years.
We didn't plan to upgrade network speed of Kimsufi for now. Only SYS & OVH are doubling
Two things about Kimsufi:
1-They won't upgrade network speed from 100 mbps
2- They won't remove setup fee
As mentioned earlier in the thread, I already got two servers upgraded to Gbit on Kimsufi -- with no traffic limit introduced. You butthurt much?
Thanks for the information, even if it's bad news.
The installation fee is only once, that is, bad but bearable. The challenge is the everyday with the connection of 100 Mbps.
This is great for you, just for you.
Yes, but according to this tweet of October 9th 2018, it's "no" :
rm_ just confirmed that they got two servers upgraded, so all servers are to be upgraded, so oles actually meant "yes". That's why one should really buy some Kimsufis, and wait for them to go gigabit if not already the case.
You must on RBX1 for gigabit speed
I have servers in RBX1 that have no gigabit speed.
Anyway even when they unlock gigabit speed it's for download only, not upload (at least that was the case in my experience). If you are looking to host a streaming website or something similar that could use a lot of bandwidth at peak time, this will be of no help...
Me too.
Kimsufi KS-7:
So the recent 10 EUR deal from Online.net / OneProvider seems more attractive compared to this Kimsufi flash sale, if network bandwidth is more important than 8 instead of 4 GB RAM.
OneProvider i3-530:
But together these two servers could build a a good active-passive LowEnd HA.
Gigabit on the uplink is unlikely. Downstream maybe.
Does it comes with IPMI? Is it free to use?
You have to limit your use of the gigabit port with online though... and OVH network is said to be better than online's in some parts of the world. (And they offer two locations: it seems to me that OVH CA is pretty good for both EU & american traffic)
Yeah. If you are lucky you might be able to download at Gbit speed, but to my knowledge they never changed the upload speed of KS servers in the past.
Seems to me that there is no IPMI.
How long would it take them to increase the monthly price for everyone....
Around 3 seconds.
I have a bit different question too:
How long would it take them to finally answer my billing issue question ? @ninzo59
VAT 20% recurring is not yet removed from my Non-EU account.
Why so pessimistic mate?
nvm
So far it seems like they didn't choose to follow the "online.net's way".
We have had +100 requests like this one. We do our best
Thanks @ninzo59. Waiting to be fixed to pay.
These are two separate issues
1) Upgrading SYS from 1000/250 to 1000/500 -- Oles was talking about this. Kimsufi doesn't get such upgrade.
2) Upgrading KS from 100/100 to 1000/100. This is what was posted in 2014 and slowly seems to happen. Oles was not talking about this in the quoted tweet.
