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?

    About 90mbps down and 31 Mbps up. Sometimes they dip though.

    We will be getting fiber soon™ (probably 5 years of so)

    On the bright side, 2 phones with 10GB data + data is 70€ per month and 60 of it is pre-tax payments. So in reality, probably more like 40€ per month.
