budingyun, make sure you use a different network card on your KVM! You're only getting 100Mbps! Use the Intel Pro or Virtio card to get 1Gbps. You can set it in SolusVM.
@Nick_A I'm already used Virtio network card. Actually i'm getting good speed from my personal test, not sure why serverbear benchmark get lower network speed.
Strange, I'll run a quick test now just to make sure there's nothing wrong at our end.
Getting 112MB/s from Cachefly.
@budingyun - did you reboot after changing cards? Try the Intel Pro?
@Nick_A Can you run "wget freevps.us/downloads/bench.sh -O - -o /dev/null|bash" on node 1? I want compare with my result.
Those speeds are more like it.
@ServerBear any ideas?
Mind re-running our test & comparing results?
This is what I just got from Dallas:
Comparing my network benchmark result http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2012/09/16/BH8Pam2mtADBJHrT and http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2012/09/12/vfN6BhumzwKpp7tG, there's no much different actually except download from cachefly. By the way i'm doing the serverbear benchmark at 3am local time or 3pm USA time (peak time). Maybe that's the reason. I'm installing Centos 6 netinstall and updating it so damn fast with fast mirror disabled. Dallas node got better connectivity though.
Yeah, you definitely have 1Gbps enabled. I should have paid closer attention to all of your results. I was just stunned by the 3.3 MB/s bandwidth benchmark it produced on ServerBear.com. My test on the same plan will finish in a bit. It will probably just confirm that it was a function of the timing of the benchmark.
What time do you run your backups Nick? :P
Newest benchmark taken from http://serverbear.com/benchmark/2012/9/17/TPKYLdAL8WP64hsu by @Nick_A himself . Not that different from my result.
Backups on that node from 7PM - 12AM. I wonder if that's what it was.
Weird that it ranges from 8MB to 59MB on the same node, but oh well.
@Nick_A Just reminded me. I messaged you but didnt hear back. Are backups on your owned hardware, sent through SSL, and/or stored encrypted? If not, can a VPS opt-out? Thanks
@bdtech I remember that question and I thought I sent a response. I'll PM you.
Most likely ISP problem.
