I currently am hosting a RaQ 550 on a Leased 1MB Line and find it to be very good when accessing the server from other connections such as BT DSL from work or at friends houses etc.
I currently have around 15 Domains hosted on the server and am now thinking about moving the server off the least line and to a Data Center of which can offer me a better connection speed.
I have been looking at
www.easily.co.uk of which is only 50 miles from where my server is currently and i have spoken to the NOC and asked about the services they can provide to me
They have said for £199 per year
they will connect my server to there network and Cap the internet connection at 2MB ( Default) but can have upto 10MB if needed at no extra cost
I could not get out of the company what there total internet connection speed is at a guess if it was 10MB's and all there other servers are using the same connection would i gain any better speed then staying with my current connecton speed of 1mb with a connection ratio of 1/1
I did a few tests using external companys of which test the download and upload connection speed
I have noticed that most Data Centers dont have stable connection speed rate example as below
Easily co.uk
Test 1 download at 300k per sec
Test 2 download at 360k per sec
test 3 download at 86k per sec
where my leased line
Test 1 download at 240k per sec
test 2 download at 241k per sec
test 3 download at 240k per sec
what are your views on this and what would you do
