Any experiences with myLoc/Webtropia?
I am eyeing the root server offers at myLoc/Webtropia and would like to hear about how are they as a host when compared to the other German hosts with similar offerings like netcup and Contabo. They both seem to be quite a big provider in Germany. I've tried to look for reviews here but most of them are a bit old...
More specifically, I want to know if CPU performance for their root servers are okay (not too oversold) and how their traffic limits work in practice. Their root servers come with 1000 Mbit/s NICs, and their traffic policy implies that each server will be only allowed to use 5TB at full speed, and be throttled to 200 Mbit/s. But from the reviews I've read, some people say this limit is not enforced, or is enforced at 100TB, etc.

If you run bench.sh your network goes down for a few minutes. Not really worth going further than that. Backups can cause outages.
^ And you end you getting throttled for backups.
What are they even throttling for, its a gbit port
Well, the traffic went over expensive Frankfurt, so because of that, they throttled it.
Basically Hetzner to MyLoc.
All I know is after a few days, the time the backup needed to finish went up like crazy, so we did a few tests, concluded it was throttled by myloc.
So said, did open a ticket, and after the response, magically it was faster.
God only knows why.
They were bought by an italian company (WIIT S.p.A.) recently, maybe some things will change soon

I doubt that.
Are you telling me the two largest cheap server places in germany don't peer?? Why the hell?

They have a direct peering with myloc, but it's in Amsterdam for some reason.
Oh God damn I almost read that link really incorrectly
I have one VPS with them.
It idles very well.
