More or less
Normally there's 50%~75% or so spare per switch, sometimes more, just this one switch got dogged, on top of a bad link to HE where we were rushing to get 'some' room on the port.
It wasn't very fun, but we do our best to give as much as we can w/o breaking things.
Thanks and I hope we can make the OP even happier soon.

I submitted a ticket before to Avoro regarding their bw policies and they said to me there is FUP on VPS and no FUP on dedicated servers.
They said fair use is 20-30TB per month
I use shit tons of bandwidth with 3x cheapest 1GB slices, and we haven't been limited yet.
We have 3 HAProxies setup before backend website on super cheap plans and we even canceled the expensive 90€/m server that could justify our usage.
We run a rather busy highly dynamic website that averages 50 TB traffic +/- 20% per month.
I have no idea how much you are using to get limited lol.
I just had to testify this as a reader of this thread because I find BuyVM generous with the limits and he can politely discuss with the user even if he exceeds them by insane amount and still offer competitive pricing.
This is only 18MB/sec over the course of 30 days for that usage. That's not a significant amount for a VM to utilise within a 1GB port.
I consider it generous amount for the price, especially given its highly wanted DMCA ignored provider/location and costs pennies.
Plot twist: account gets capped
50TB per 1GB is 100% dick, but not when split three ways. But you are close to that crappy customer Francisco wants to avoid...
Can you tell if the slices are on different nodes? That's even better.
I'd be perfectly fine with that lol.
5x 3.5 USD/m is not too bad for 500 Mbps 24/7
Not sure, if same node. haven't checked. My average based on nload is about 20-50 Mbps.
Fair enough for 10 EUR per month, and 10Gbps port speed.
I had a month where I used maybe 30TB and I ran some heavy stuff, using 5+ Gbit on the 512mb ram vps, wasn't throttled.
But my usual month right now is more like 20GB/month.
i think there is a throttling in some form.... either controlled or uncontrolled... look for yourself (geekbench 6 score):

You can power off and on to drop a throttle.
CPU capping's extremely archaic at the moment. If we see a node super busy we'll just cap all 1G & 2G plans down to 25%/50%, regardless of their usage.

BuyVM seems so have slow upstream right now, but back then I uploaded with around 5gbps to google drive (maybe Google has LU location)
Does a 512MB have enough buffers to push higher? You could probably tweak sysctl and see where it goes. You're a 512MB so you really shouldn't be on a 5900x, so you wouldn't be affected by the bogged switch.
Francisco
Sure, this is without any optimizations to network at all, can probably push a bit higher, I'm more than happy with the performance and there are other reasons I am a customer of yours (one of the very few LET hosts you can reasoably argue with and who don't kick you for the first thing happening that requires any level of support or human logic).
I'm on a Ryzen 9 3900X.
Right now I'm probably a pretty good customer, no tickets since August 2022, maybe 20-30GB traffic in a month.
The one time I needed to use a lot of traffic (moving stuff from one cloud storage to another) the vps worked flawlessly and was faster than a 2.5gbps netcup VPS for 30€/month.
I used 3 VPS for moving, funnily enough, netcup throttled me after an hour to 200mbps (it is their policy that when you use more than 1gbps for 60 minutes, they can throttle you to 200mbps and they also throttle after 120TB, but sucks if you're not even close to 120TB and you get throttled because of their other policy).
Storage slices are also rock-solid and have solid i/o, I can host stuff there where scaleway S3 would render completely unresponsive.

Ahaha
We have something developed to do auto capping/uncapping on CPU for abuse, but we haven't deployed it yet. Needs more testing as well as decisions on notifications.
Francisco
i hope you find a solution quickly. it's annoying that everyone suffers when a few misuse 1g and 2g plans.
1-second interval updates to SMS, email & fax please
Ah, CPU caps aren't quite as common now. The code was originally written when we were still selling 512's during the last crypto boom. We'd get people signup for 100 - 200 512's overnight and then try to mine whatever new shitcoin they're following.
Francisco
there are some strange people.
i just want a fast 1g plan with lots of memory and reasonably reasonable scores. geekbench 6 under 300 is lowest of the low and upload speeds of 30mbit is also rather a lousy score. there you are stuck on node 68 with such will because of some fools.
RAM : 961.0 MiB
Disk : 270.5 GiB
Pretty much all modern Linux OS recommend 2GB or higher. I would suggest to be increasing prices on small resource plans as they use more duty cycle than higher plans as a ratio to price.
Please. In the future, "have you tried powering it off and on?"
Please. In the future, "have you tried powering it off and on, eight times a day!?"
whoosh
Agreed.
1g = memory
300GB = storage
I usually do a speed limit of 50% even for metered network just to make sure I dont affect all my neighbours... (for any providers)
