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?
Pretty much a perfect 1 Gigabit, because that’s my LAN speed and my server is at home :(

I get the throughput I brought from my ISP. But latency to my VPS is 260ms.
What’s your hoster?
Hetzner. But it looks like the problem is created by the pair (hoster, ISP), and neither of them have a problem by themselves.
20gbps… but only because i don’t have 100gbps nics in everything in my house.
Local is best.
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.
I get about 10-15mbps down from my VPS using a single TCP stream. I get over 200mbps using UDP, it pretty much maxes out my internet connection. The VPS is over 1100 miles away, so there quite a bit of latency.

Maybe the issue is that your ISP has bad peering to some networks including the one where your VPS is?
1 gbit because google fiber is 1gbit but I typically get 1.2 because they overprovision it so much.

Look in your fine print, I think Contabo like many other VPS providers have a “only full speed for 5 minutes per hour” or so clause and when you exceed that you get slowed down to 100mbit or so.
These servers tend to be heavily over-provisioned and are not intended to run a VPN on.
