Lunanode -- Slow-ish Download Speeds in Toronto

Hi,
Is anyone else having network issues in Lunanode.com's Toronto location? I got ~4 MB/s upload to the server on a 5 GB file. I had the same issue when I tried last night.
For downloading, France and Montreal are going much faster (see https://www.lunanode.com/locations). I have <30ms ping to both Toronto and Montreal.
I made two additional VMs in Toronto and Montreal. The Toronto VM was slow uploading (the speed didn't change). The Montreal VM maxed out my connection at 100mbps+ upload.
Could this be because it's Cogent for the network? Hmm. The other locations are OVH. And Lunanode has been advertising their cheaper 1 GB plan, so I don't know if that matters. I may switch back to Montreal.

Is there a reason you didn't open a ticket? Plus, the networks are drastically different. The Toronto location is housed in Cogent directly, so if there are issues, they are likely with-in Cogent and if you report it, BY TICKET (which you should have done in the first place) and give them a chance to address it, they can likely get it resolved.
Why you felt the need to open a thread on LET about this, I don't understand.
Were you feeling lonely?
If so, let me invite some friends @Chuck @netomx @eol @deank @uptime @Janevski @volver @jsg @3606202 @jar @Neoon @imok @Nekki @FlamesRunner @default @Francisco @Falzo @AuroraZ @corbpie @smile @Yura @Ympker
Wouldn't want to leave you all alone on Friday night!
my 2 cents.
Cheers!
Aye 'tis slow in Toronto tonite ... the little bits be wanderin' aimlessly all about, 'tis a shame indeed.
I like Lunanode.
my 2 cents.
Cheers!
I don't know what I did to you but you mention me first...so thanks?
I recommend Lunanode every chance I get if you are able to see my post history.
I didn't want to bother them having to reply to a ticket with their network being somewhat slow for someone who spends a nominal amount of money there each month, although I've been there for 2.5+ years now. And I know there's others here who use Lunanode who might have some input since I moved to the Toronto location more recently from Montreal.
I don't want to open a ticket because I'm expecting sooner or later someone else will.

EDIT2:
Also ... I much prefer to spend my precious time shitposting in this thread.
@cirrus_cloud please now do the needful - for the greater good
Because of @TheLinuxBug. I'm kinda on this thread and I don't know why?
I'm familiar with that phenomenon, but I don't see its relevance here, even if it's funny to bring it up anyway.
I'll probably just switch back to Montreal and not open the ticket since I was getting better throughput when I checked.
Perennate (tagged in the original post) will stop by at some point. LowEndSupport works.
Fair enough.
wu wei motherfuckers.
EDIT2:
introspection and curiosity, for the most part, I think - no snark intended
I corrected your incorrect insertion of asian concept into a post.
Thanks - I appreciate your dilligence and astute sensibility in this matter.
no problem. notice how "@TheLinuxBug motherfuckers" makes sense in every situation.
@TheGNULinuxBug motherfuckers
no one here wants to put in a ticket.
And my shitposting game is weak tonight.
Please advise.
Solid service from my experience.
My 2 euros.
No problem.
Just continue.
Like mine it can only get better.
Why am I been dragged on to this?
I like them too great service and feature set it really really sucks they dont have US though
Maybe just the peering between your ISP and Cogent is overloaded. Try running a benchmark script such as https://k4y5.github.io/ServerBench/ to see if it's a general problem with the download speed, or how many of the test locations are affected.
Dallas would be great.
Oh man what have you done. I read the whole article and remembered the Wang Yue video.
running a lot of speed tests (as in ServerBench) may or may not always be the most helpful thing to do if the network is congested ... but yes can be interesting - maybe traceroute or mtr report is most useful first look?
I can confirm pulling a file from kimsufi in BHS at about 4 MB/s ... not the end of the world IMO but something to take a look at. Maybe it will get a note in https://status.lunanode.com/ at some point.
Well done! Why waste valuable ticket bytes at your provider when there is the Low End Ticket system.
Re. your problems, my suggestion is to continue your analysis and to keep switching around your VMs. Plus you should install and test no less than 6 different linux distros, some with and some without systemd. Finally, also try different shells! I've seen cases where a network was tested on tuesday by someone using bash and again a week later by someone using pdksh and the results were quite different! (Not to complicate things but you might also want to check what linker flags were used when building them shells!)
I don't know...
It could be crappy upload speed due to your ISP being congested, due to something in between being congested, or provider downlink congestion.
It could also be low HDD write speed on your VPS.
If you're using something encrypted like ssh, it may as well be cpu bottleneck.
But it may as well be MTU and MSS misconfiguration on your end.
Or it may be abnormally low tcp buffers...
And also it could be about 666 other different things. Investigate.
Why did you @ me ?
Because you have pie in your username and that's good.
