I’m using contabo and the VPS I got is advertised as 1 Gigabit. When I do a speedtest or use iperf3 to connect to public servers I get pretty close to 1 Gigabit. But from my residential IP the speed drops down to 100-250 Mbit/s. My home internet connection can handle 500 Mbit just fine.

I’m looking for a new hoster with a better network connection. What real world speeds do you get with your server?

    To my server? 4mbytes/sec on a good day. I haven’t reinstalled my os in years so things are getting really fucky. It’s actually a security measure. My shit is so slow that I’d like to think potential cyber attacks would take too long for it to be worth anyone’s time.
