I’m using contabo and the VPS I got is advertised as 1 Gigabit. When I do a speedtest or use iperf3 to connect to public servers I get pretty close to 1 Gigabit. But from my residential IP the speed drops down to 100-250 Mbit/s. My home internet connection can handle 500 Mbit just fine.

I’m looking for a new hoster with a better network connection. What real world speeds do you get with your server?

    I get about 10-15mbps down from my VPS using a single TCP stream. I get over 200mbps using UDP, it pretty much maxes out my internet connection. The VPS is over 1100 miles away, so there quite a bit of latency.
