    @Ympker do you know how they have been recently? i am considering purely for test purposes but can you actually use all 60GB ram ?

    Also:

    Unlimited traffic: No additional costs due to traffic, you can use 100 Mbit/s without any bandwidth restrictions or throttling. (Only in case your server has an uplink faster than 100 Mbit/s: If average traffic consumption continuously exceeds 100 Mbit/s over a timespan of at least 9 days the connection is switched to 100 Mbit/s).

    Why do they sell 100m/s, 400m/s, 1000m/s based on size of server if they are all limited to 100 M/s?

    This is more like peak bandwidth they're selling. Though you may not use more than 100Mbit/s average.

    Heya,
    last time I used them was a while ago. These days I dont have any VPS, unfortunately :/

    About the network speed: You also do get higher speeds than 100 but only until you continously exceed 100.

    9 days to average out on seems reasonable I'd say. Instead of directly capping at 100Mbit/s, that way you'll still be able to push bigger volumes at higher speed for quite some time, just watch the average usage. if you need sustained >100Mbit/s for longer time than 9 days in a row, this clearly isn't your product anyway ;-)

    let's see if they can deliver speeds above 100 Mbit at all to locations a bit more distanced, esp. once it gets more crowded.

    hzr said: What is up with all of the german providers only serving st louis? It's so out of the way, is there some special thing there?

    seems the routing from new york to st. louis is quite direct (level3 peering) so might be cheap and easy in terms of latency. don't know about the energy costs and stuff, but could imagine that's also factors below let's say NYC? in the end it may also just be the location 'in the middle', so you can sell good latency not only to one coast...
