Does anyone still talk about VeloxMedia? They are good humor (jokers)
today i asked why my bandwidth on my VPS is so so very very slow... here's the response from the most amazing funny guy Eric Banks:
Hello, you only have a 2Gb total bandwidth package with very limited speeds.
i've been laughing here for quite a while..
to be perfectly candid, my VPS originally had 2GB RAM and unmetered bandwidth..

256MB of total bandwidth?
So generous.
I mean I understand limited speed then - you don't want to burn all your allocated bandwidth within 0.5 second right? Right?!
that eric must be drunk or something.. i mean, in what world there's even a 2GB bandwidth package? anyways, this is just so bizarre to me.. and funny..
So you should now have 2GB bandwidth and Unmetered RAM 🤔
@VeloxMedia Any deals?
😂
It's even worst than mzunguhosting's plans
Mzunguhosting did not deadpool at least
BTW did i mention their support tickets system is using white for both font and background.. is it me, or are they actively trying to make sure no tickets come in anymore? haha.. what a bunch of jokers.
and here we go.. i guess i said too much.. LMAO..
This is a notification that your service has now been suspended. The details of this suspension are below:
Due Date: Wednesday, July 29th, 2026
Suspension Reason: Overdue on Payment
@Saragoldfarb thiughts?
Thanks for the laugh, my gosh that dude is such a freaking idiot, lmao.
Actual suspension reason: Provider salty after seeing this post.
If 2 Gb means 256 MiB, that's not even enough for a single apt upgrade from Debian 12 to Debian 13.
What's next? I/O? 0.1% CPU FUP?
You will be billed by number of clock cycles.
(Fun fact: Some enterprise mainframe hardware actually does bill you by the cycle).
Ha! $0.1/Million cycle applied retroactively to existing plan
I wonder why LEB is still advertising them: https://lowendbox.com/blog/veloxmedia-two-hot-offers-for-you-10-year-offer-and-a-vps-with-5-ipv4-unmetered-bandewidth/
Probably nobody has thought of taking it down. @raindog308 ?
EDIT: also, I don't know what happened with their BS litigation effort, but probably in the threat of litigation about Provider benefits, it may have been most prudent to leave things alone, but probably not now I guess.
i was receiving 256kbps speed when i purchased vps from veloxmedia. Felt like they living in 1999 era.
link this in the main thread
I'm not sure what exactly the policy of LEB is in this respect -- perhaps @raindog308 can say -- but that's an ad from last June and the offers are no longer available
I suspect that if one looks a bit, this isn't the only case of a past ad on LEB from a provider that was eventually banned on LET
There's a sense in which LEB and LET function independently of each other, even if LEB often makes reference to LET
And if one decides to remove that ad, then one should remove all of them: https://lowendbox.com/tag/veloxmedia/
A canary would be great.
Yes and no. Depends ... Like... No, not really I think. It's so weird... Sorry... My brain can't process this kind of stupidity.
The VPS I bought last year is actually still online—that’s something I hadn’t expected.
So generous.
Yeah… at that point it’s not really a “bandwidth plan”, it’s more like a demo of TCP connecting successfully lol
256 MB total transfer is extremely low by modern VPS standards, especially if it’s paired with any meaningful compute or storage use. You’ll hit that ceiling just from:
In normal conditions I guess even all the unsollicited portscans, pings and login tries can count up to 256MB of traffic.
So basically it's a great money maker: let "customers" (avoid calling them that) pay for every extra kByte...
Same (without even having to pay the extortion fee), and it's performing quite well. I suspect either Eric didn't notice, or he doesn't consider me a "LET customer" because I bought the VPS before joining LET. Either way, I have to consider it a write-off and assume it'll go down eventually. I suspect they'll all go down sooner or later.
