WelcomeHosting, weird network issues.

So I recently purchased one of the KVM VPS (through LEB) from welcomehosting. The first day that I had it this week, it was running fantastic, great performance, good network performance (consistent 70ms pings) (at least to me anyway, I'm a reasonably light user).

About 10 hours after using it, I started to get between 25% to 100% packet loss, pings from 70ms all the way up to about 450. It's been about 3 days now and so far I haven't been able to use it smoothly other than about 3 hours on Wednesday.

It's the last hop before the VPS IP in the trace route that's timing out with packetloss, at Colocrossing, so I'm guessing the network node that my VPS is attached to. I've been trying to get them to switch me to another node but that will take time I guess.

Other than that I've noticed in Solusvm that there is some weird bandwidth usage going on, about 250kb/s upload consistent from the VPS instance, and yet in the VPS itself I've run various applications like nethogs, nload etc, I'm only seeing an average of 30-40kb/s when I'm logged into it.

Can't explain the phantom bandwidth usage, it's consumed maybe 15GB over the last 4 days, hoping to get the issues resolved at some point.

Anyone here have any ideas?

    Try to reinstall your VPS and then check, if it still does not works contact your provider or switch providers

    Must be Chris' ghost haunting your VM. After all changes are coming!

    Maybe.. I think I resolved the phantom bandwidth maybe. powered the VPS completely off and then back and it seems to have subsided, I think.

    The network issues still exist, I decided to ping several other IPs on the same gateway and all of the IPs have the same issue, the gateway doesn't but all of the other servers on the same VPS node do. So I guess I'll keep trying to get them to switch to another node.

  • You bought servers on LEB, now you're getting weird network issues?

    Thanked by 1dedotatedwam
  • Which node are you on?

  • Back to normal for now, LAXKVM24

    Are you in China? If yes, to a ColoCrossing server, it is normal.
    Upgrade to CN2 (back route) is the only way to solve.
