To be honest I didn't look at routes in detail (mtr, traceroute, ...) but just (automatically) gathered the data and then compiled them. But I, with good reason, show not just the average values but the minima and maxima as well plus how many failures there were with each target.
But anyway, yes, I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Vienna location was, let's say a bit special, which almost certainly wouldn't be the provider's but the backend's/carrier's[/DC's?] fault.
But maybe I should look at routing as well to have those data available if needed. But to generally publish them would look like overkill to me (huge amount of data). Let me think a bit about it ...
But @Hosteroid is a really nice guy and I guess he might (again) provide test access for a few days. If so, I'm willing to collect routing info to all targets from Vienna.
upgraded RO, Buc VPS benchmark and review
They just upgraded a (or multiple or all?) node in their home location in Bucharest. And of bloody course I benchmarked my Hosteroid VPS there right away. And it was worth it, I saw quite significant improvments!
Based on about 100 runs.
Wow! Very significantly better now! Almost or about double of what we saw with the former E5v4 processor, both single and multicore. And crypto performance is in solid territory as well now. Very nice, I'm impressed and very happy with what I see. And I even didn't have to pay, @Hosteroid just upgraded the node I'm on. Kudos, very well done!
Let's see whether the disk performance also is higher now.
Yep, it is, nice! An impressive improvement as well! Both, the 4k/4t results are about 5 x higher now!
Re connectivity I'll only list targets that either changed significantly or are new/added, as indicated at the end of the first line of the listed targets.
As usual split into continents/regions.
Europe - with one single exception, IT, Milano, all targets show very similar performance or even significantly better performance, as indicated at the end of the first line of the listed targets.
Asia/Oceania - Iran had quite decent about 100 Mb/s but now, probably due to political situation is very low. But quite a few targets show significantly better results now, again as indicated in the first line of each target.
America - again, some targets show significantly improved performance, plus there are quite a few new targets.
It seems that M247 (which seems to be Hosterions backend) have improved their routing. While cogent (sadly) appears often as the second leg, in particular to America, to Asia and Ozzyland I see GSL as second leg; a few times also zayo, L3, and twelve99 also appear.
Whatever, overall there are quite some improvements wrt connectivity, but the main heroes of the upgrade are of course the new - and very significantly better! - processor and the much, much higher disk performance.
TL;DR Very well done, @Hosteroid! You've managed to turn a decent and cheap but somewhat boring VPS into a really attractive one I enjoy! Now, of bloody course we wait for your other locations to follow.
