Any script as YABS to measure latency from clients in Australia ?
Hi there,
Normally, I just need to run https://github.com/masonr/yet-another-bench-script
to test the speed/latency when buying a new VPS. Yet, I cannot find an alternative script so that I can measure the latency connected from Australia (Melbourne in particular). If you have a script like that, please share. Thanks.

https://nws.sh/ Maybe use the "au" region on this script if you just want to check latency and speedtest.
Thanks Mike, got one connection/test from Sydney: Aussie Broadband - Sydney
By the way, if anyone knows a "good" (IO, latency) VPS for clients in Australia, please recommend. I think for now I will have a go with hetzner. Thanks.
If you're looking in for something in Sydney I can probably help, just shoot me a message with the specs/pricing you need. Otherwise @trewq FlowVPS is a common option for Australia and he's local.
Thanks MikeA.
Hi @trewq, it looks like there is no option to pay hourly for now. Just want to test first. I have seen some positive reviews about your service. Also tested lg on your site myself.
@yeungon Can try @onidel for hourly service - https://onidel.com/cloud/australia-vps
Thanks @FAT32 I wanna have a Melbourne-based VPS so I'm testing Vultr right now. It's quite okey IMO. Onidel has Sydney btw, but the latency is quite good. I use https://lg.onidel.com/ to test.
You can try "Phoronix Test Suite".

Hey, feel free to sign up and if the service doesn’t meet your requirements anytime in the first month I’m happy to refund. Don’t want people being stuck with a service that isn’t fit for their needs.
All I ask is if you do ask for a refund you also provide feedback so we can improve.
just bought a quarter package :-)). waiting for running some tests.
It's this the whole point of https://globalping.io/ ? ;')
Good to know this new tool, thanks @JabJab
Hi @trewq for some reason the network is not as expected. The CPU is so strong though.
I test some VPS including yours and ask Grok to write the report here:

Flowvps price is so nice.
https://binarylane.com.au
they're awesome
pay per use pricing with hourly billing
they only ask for card information
deposit not even needed
vps performance suprisingly good
Hey,
Speeds are capped at 2Gb by default, if you need higher burst please open a ticket.
I made my mind by opt for Flow (bought the quarter package) but my friend commented that it is not as fast as other options. Might try to open a ticket.
Here is an nws.sh from Shock Hosting Sydney
I updated the review after the limitation was lifted. Thanks.
https://github.com/dylhost/host-ping-test does many countries
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dylhost/host-ping-test/refs/heads/main/pinglist.sh | bash -s -- -c AUS
It does every country by default, but Australia with that flag - if that's what your after? Doesn't do speeds.
Edit: Didn't know of nws.sh, seems they use speedtest.net servers though. The script I have is actual hosting providers if that's what you mean - so you can use it on your HOME connection to test your ping to many providers quickly.
