KS-LE1 port speed
Don't want to necro the old thread, so created a new one for a fairly trivial comment.
When I got my KS-LE1 over black friday, I YABS'd it at the time and found I hadn't been lucky enough to get one with the faster network port as all of my speeds were around 95-97 Mbps.
Last night I happened to YABS one of the VMs I created on it because I wanted to check the disk IO speed and noticed that my IP4 receive speeds were all over 500Mbps to the European networks.
Anyone else noticed anything like this before?

Just use it, don't announce

LET has been infiltrated by KS glowies.
Do not be tricked into snitching on your port speed.
@ralf Please delete this, they are here spying ...
Dear customer, thanks for letting us know. It was a glitch and your speed has been reduced to 95Mbps.
I was fine with 100 Mbps on this server anyway as it doesn't see all that much traffic, it was just more of a surprise that the port speed seemingly increased.
100 Mbps is ok for general use indeed.
The network speed is determined and throttled by their routers.
Sometimes their routers fuck up. Some servers might have no speed increase, some might have speed increase over IPv6, and some servers might have speed increase against certain other remote targets (It's supposed to have internal traffic be faster but doesn't always and sometimes other same region traffic gets caught up)
All of these are mistakes and not intentional. When OVH realises, they revert them.
I haven't heard of them making that mistake fresh after not doing it before, but in all honesty I'm not surprised.
Enjoy your speed increase. Just know. it will not be there forever.
Let me think that a guy on LET is trying to sell a Kimsufi server with dual 1G ports, he kinda treats it like a selling point, but it should be treated as a hidden benefit IMHO, because you never know when they will revert it back.
Correct. Because it can be reverted at any time and that buyer might get mad.
If I sold a Kimsufi server with increased bandwidth I would not factor that into the price and would merely mention it along with a disclaimer that it might go away.
Are you sure you are not mis-remembering it? Maybe back then you did not YABS, but only the upload test? It is super common for these servers to have 100 Mbit upload and 1 Gbit download. Maybe even all of them do. But only a few have 1 Gbit upload as well (or on IPv6). And it's not as common for these limits to change over time after you get it.
That's totally possible, to be honest, but I was pretty sure it was 100Mbps each way.
Please share YABS
This seems to happen quite a lot, people receiving more HDD or bandwidth. Probably very uncommon though.
This is a freshly created 2-core KVM instance, with 20GB striped FS. Swap is a 2GB file on instance's root filesystem. (Basically the same as I'm using for most of my instances, except they're all 10GB). Also no IPv6 as the instances either talk to each other or to other servers over wireguard, so I only enabled IPv4.

KS-LEs are mostly 1000 down, 100 up... making them pretty useless for a lot of things.
2 in the same DC can do 1000 each way to each other.
ya but if you have a 1gbit connection at home, enjoy only getting 10% of your speed from your dedi.
