Did someone say the new servers were guaranteed bandwidth?

[pcoventry]

My new server is running slow i get about 25-30Mbps on it which is a far cry from the 100 its meant to be attached to. I know its shared and all the rest of the balls BUT I was told this was guaranteed bandwidth and my old server wasent.

anyone confirm/deny please?

Also anyone got a server on the 1Gbs option? did you use your BW 3TB up in a few hours and does it slow down in general? even with plenty of alowance?

yes, generally speaking, your server has that 100Mbps guaranteed.

Now, if you have a new range server:
you'll be running at 100Mbps unless it's gone over the monthly traffic allowance, in which case it will run at 10Mbps for the rest of the month

If you have one of the old server:
you're infrastructure of servers will have 100Mbps guaranteed,

you can try to run these commands to see what the results are:

wget ftp://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.3/sparc/iso-cd/debian-update-5.0.3-sparc-CD-4.iso -O /dev/null

wget ftp://ftp.ovh.net/test.bin -O /dev/null

Could you post back the results, please?

Hmm I gave up my old server because I was told it was not guaranteed.

I'll post them now

SO thats good and i got about 11mbps from my other server and i get that on the FTP but thats internal. If I go out to the web I get less.

Ill do some more tests.

The pings from other countries fluctuate too from time to time..

This guy is from australia, he normally gets ~300ms, but he can get over 800ms sometimes:

That's 11MB/s or, in other workds, 88Mbps. Therefore, that's a good speed.

you know that we cannot guarantee the bandwidth from Australia into our datacentres as we don't run our network or peering to there.

I know that it doesn't apply directly to your case, but you could check our latency statistics from different countries here:

Unfortunately, we cannot do much right if the hop from Mumbai to London adds 500ms to the latency :(
