BurstNet Speed
I'm thinking about getting a Windows VPS at BurstNet. What kind of internet speed should I expect? If I connected to speedtest.net from IE via RDC, what uplink and downlink numbers would it show?

IIRC it should be burstable up to 100mbit i.e. around 11MB /s but remeber this is burstable (up to) not dedicated so your sharing the link.

What should be and what actually is may be completely different. I'm looking for actual numbers from a BurstNet customer.

Indeed that is true however as an ex Burst.Net customer I can tell you that the servers are 100mbit and most of the time that is exactly what you will get.
Obviously this depends entirely on the source or destination.█ -> INCEPTION HOSTING LIMITED Since 2010!

Speedtest.net is a terrible way to measure speed. And backtogeek is right - You're sharing the uplink of the node your VPS is on so you're dealing with an unknown quantity as you don't know what the other VPSs on that node are doing at the same time as you.
I happened to be logged into one of our BurstNET VPSs so I ran the same cachefly test every few seconds for you....

It seems to be dead on with my local cable connection, reporting 25 Mbps down, 3 up, exactly what Comcast tells me I'm getting.
