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?
Look in your fine print, I think Contabo like many other VPS providers have a “only full speed for 5 minutes per hour” or so clause and when you exceed that you get slowed down to 100mbit or so.
These servers tend to be heavily over-provisioned and are not intended to run a VPN on.
