Onidel Singapore VPS benchmark and review
@Onidel was kind enough to give me access to one of their Singapore VPSs. Thank you, Onidel!
Now I can let the cat out of the bag. This not only is an interesting server but it's also part of a SGP shootout, and I can already tell you that this VPS is not the loser in the shootout ...
Side note, probably important for many: their panel is very rich in functionality and their support is really good and quite quick as well. An additional plus is that their support is to-the-point helpful, no boilerplate or bureaucracy blabla, just a helpful response right at the matter. Very nice.
OK, let's get to it, sysinfo, processor, and memory first. Based btw. on well over 50 runs.

What a nice start! A decent server processor with very decent performance. All the interesting flags available and very nice crypto performance as well.
Will the 40 GB disk keep up?

Yes, it does. Out of the ordinary high performance and well above 10k, actually almost 15k IOps. Serious DB? Check. Serious dynamic website? Check.
But of course with SGP everyone wants to know about connectivity ...

Split into continents / regions as usual.
Europe - this one always is difficult for me because to me (European) those numbers look so meager and low. But actually about or even a bit above 70 Mb/s to at least the major targets is quite good.
Asia / Oceania - India above 170 Mb/s, SGP almost 1 Gb/s which clearly hints to you not only getting "1 Gb/s connection" as a nice phrase but actually and physically. Me like.
HongKong about 350 Mb/s is nice, but 2 ou of 3 China (Mainland) target achieving about 100 Mb/s and one even 125 Mb/s almost feels like a miracle! So, if Mainland China is important to you, this VPS is the one to get! But Japan and Ozzyland also are quite good with about 120 Mb/s.
Impressive.
Africa - South Africa about 50 Mb/s is quite good.
America - here you Murricans can feel like I feel with Europe targets. Not exactly impressive, meeh. But well, this is a SGP VPS! So, low sixties to the West Coast it is.
TL;DR / Verdict: If you need really good connectiviy within Asia and Oceania along with a really well performing server this VPS is one of the best choices, albeit not exactly cheap. But then, what's cheap in Singapore?

@onidel -chan
Wow!!! @onidel good benchmark of network!
Not here, please!
mjj?
If you don't know who is jsg you are definitely a MJJ.
thanks @jsg for the great benchmark and review - really glad to see it went well!
surprisingly enough, this is actually the first time a LET member has benchmarked and reviewed our service, despite having quite a lot happy customers from the community.
Feels a bit like you've all been keeping the good stuff to yourselves
I am a customer in Sydney and have been very happy with my VPS there. Great stuff!
