We use they bandwidth as well including international optimized.
I knew it! You're not Matthew.
I am Matthew.
Wanna see how the outsourced support guys are replying to spambots/themselves?

Saw it some days ago, so obvious. Horrible
'Hello...
Access Point is a rocky point immediately southeast of Biscoe Point and 2 miles northwest of Cape Lancaster on the south side of Anvers Island, in the Palmer Archipelago. First charted by the French Antarctic Expedition under Jean-Baptiste Charcot,'
gg, best explanation of an access point.
Well, I ordered a server with them this afternoon.
I got a weird email telling me that I use proxies or other form of spoofing... uh ?
They say that my email address is not matching my Paypal address! Wtf ?
Wich address ??
Anyway, I know I have signed up for a free month, but come on...
Fred
just do what they ask and get your free server.
got 2 already.
They are capping the core values to 1.7ghz (rather than the 2.2Ghz) there is also evidence of port throttling
i questioned them on this and got this "reply"
Please say what kind of application you are trying to use?
We don't allow virtual money mining in free testing server and we are very strict about this
Expecting your reply
--
also they refuse to give kvm access dispite it being there is a free option and will only install centos or server 2003 (not safe to use)
Test with PRIME95 Running

I have checked out mine with cat /proc/cpuinfo and I got 1800mhz for all the 24 cores. I don't know why it's different than yours, but yes they capped my CPU. Why they do that on a dedicated server ?
I also tried a UnixBench and got 900 pts with all the cores used.... lol
I turned auto-renew off and requested cancelation for the end of billing cycle and got terminated right away, so yeah...
Fred
it also seems like they want you to cancel. they keep asking if i want it cancelled and refunded.
and apparently that 100Mbps port is shared with 20 other servers
Well, all things considered, it is a free server.. I think they've been quite generous about the whole thing!
Free for a month. burstnet does something similiar (or did) and never had such limits.
You should be grateful you got a free server for a month! It's more than enough time to evaluate their services.. Put yourself in their shoes and see how you feel if you were the one paying the bill..
Considering Burstnet went belly up! I would think it's a good thing they are not doing the same.
You should be thankful they did that.. Had it been Fortatrust, they would probably bill you for three months and when you don't pay they try to screw with your credit rating!
I don't see anything wrong with a company trying to make money.. whats wrong with them trying to weed out the tire kickers? I'm sure they have bills to pay.
Not really directed at you, but maybe in some cultures it's fully acceptable to be ungrateful? I see the OP took the time to share a good thing and not 1 person took the time to thank him! but would rather bitch about a free service!
Difference is what Fortatrust do is illegal. a monthly contract is exactly that. not 3 months.
Exactly my point.. I'm sure these guys are running the promo in hopes to attract more clients.. not doing this out of the kindness of their heart so a few folks on LET can play with a server for a month, on their expense!
I was saying they could do some funny business like fortatrust but seems their being straight up and just trying to get more business and weeding out the tire kickers! why should they service you if you have no intent on being a client!
I don't believe they run out of stock,just seems they play trick,maybe I am not their targeted customer.

It's a free month to tryout their service! This is exactly what it is. But what if they are trottling ports, trottling CPU and not provisioning KVM ? Just because it's free ? It's a non-sense to me, sorry. I just can't evaluate the product at it's best...
Fred
Fred, Lets be brief! you can't even take the time to thank the OP, let alone to make me believe you would take the time to pay for the service!
I got the same result, check my 1st posts. Is this the real CPU performance for 24 cores dedicated server?
well there is the case of
Being nearly 5 years old CPU.
Capped to 1.6Ghz (1.8Ghz Turbo).
Slow Ram
24 cores of that server are giving less performance than one single core of a VulTR VPS. Is that normal ?
Comment: I mean 24 threads .... whatever
Thats why we're awesome. Experience > *
Well, at least you could be generous and leave that $0.01 for them, for all their great efforts.
,-)
I totally approve! I have a 1Gb instance at your Atlanta facilities that is used as a slave dns server and it's really fast! I got 2000+ pts out of this little VPS if I remember correctly...
Fred
Not sure how they are capping the CPU unless they lower the FSB.. on Ubuntu I believe speedstep is enabled by default but when you are doing something like unix bench the CPU should be at full speed if you do a cpuinfo
should really be similar to this

Sorry wrong processor
Started to SFTP some files over and got this email with the following MRTG attached.
So I capped the transfer to 10Mb/s before I went to bed. Woke up and uncapped the transfer and got another MRTG within minutes.
