1GBPS Connection
Hello,
I have recently purchased a VPS, where they offer both a 100mbp/s and 1GBP/s port speeds. But I'm just a bit wary thinking they may be trying to rip me off. I do currently have the 1GBP/s port speed and the VPS is ok on speed. But I asked the owner to show me how to test the speed and he said to run
wget http://fuller.zen.co.uk/test/
but that is a html page when he said he gets 105MB/s on that and so do I when i run it but when i try download a 100MB file from here
wget http://fuller.zen.co.uk/test/100MB_nonzero.bin
i get no more than 11.2MB/s could he be ripping me off? or is there any other way to prove what port speed is getting into it?
The VPS Control panel is vePortal and is OpenVZ.
My specs are:
Hard Disc: 20GB
Bandwidth: 2000GB
Guaranteed Ram: 512MB
Burstable Ram: 1024MB

I get no more than 10MB/s too. Try cachefly (I love watching it go so fast):

It's probably being rate limited at Zen (the location of the file download), or their network is congested.
Try this one: http://www.synergyworks.co.uk/speedtest/100mb.tst
See if that provides a better result.Chris Imrie

Try doing the test at different times of the day too.
BTW. I am in the UK and the SynergyWorks speed test only reached a maximum of 2.3Mb/s when I was downloading at 6.3Mb/s a few minutes ago from a US server.Fiberoute :: Connecting Businesses

I have just tried it using cachefly and I do get faster speeds. The link I first posted was the one my host gave me so I presumed he would have gave me one that could go up to the full GB oh well.
wget http://cachefly.cachefly.net/100mb.test

Just another thing to note, even though you have a 1GB/s port, it's most likely shared amongst a lot of other users, so local congestion is likely if everyone is utilizing bandwidth intensive applications within their own virtual environment.

Unless the sole purpose of needing a 1 Gb/s port is for downloads to your VPS, a better test would be to upload a 100 MB file onto your server and let people download it and show what kind of speeds they're getting.

From a 10Gig connection in london: ( only getting 4.8Mb/sec )
( See attached screenshot )
Please also remember that getting 1Gig via a single http stream is quite hard.
If i were you id get two servers both with gig connections and run iperf between them ( using muliple tcp streams )
Oh and heres a screenshot from speedtest.net.. So it aint my connection thats slow!!!Last edited by lynxus; 06-05-2011 at 02:24 PM.
