Network speeds from providers offering 1Gb ports

prae5prae5 Member

I've had an issue with one of my sites recently where users where having poor download speeds. My initial investigations lead me to packetloss on the host node, however after having this resolved I'm still seeing (imho) pretty dismal speeds for a box on a shared gig port.

I've been moved to another node but still see similar issues. I've done a fresh install and still see poor results - I've got vps on shared 100mb ports that give better network performance.

The host has been reasonably helpful, but i still think there is either an underlying issue or its just over saturated. Equally I may be expecting too much.

Could I get some idea's of what kind of speeds people are seeing on shared 1Gb ports and with what providers.

For reference I'm getting:

Testing download speed........................................
Download: 20.21 Mbit/s
Testing upload speed..................................................
Upload: 2.28 Mbit/s

On other boxes I'm getting 600Mb+ downloads and 150+ up.

  • Try the provider's looking glass and depends on from what location to what location you are testing this.

    I've tried multiple locations, speedtest.net and even pulling their testfiles from nodes in the same dc as well as their other locations.

  • Some are worse/better than others -- your provider may not be able to saturate their full Gbit, or they've overcommitted the node you're on.

    Any providers at Incero, for example, should be obscenely fast. Have noticed this when RAMNode was there and now with Catalyst.

    DataShack was also fairly fast as well, would be able to get upwards of 60M/s+ doing the usual cachefly tests.

    Rented Dedi in CC, guessing there's a few people on my line using 50% of the available, hit about 60-80 depending on the time of day etc.
