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?
Pretty much a perfect 1 Gigabit, because that’s my LAN speed and my server is at home :(

same
2210 Mbps down, 3360Mbps up.
Not the full 10Gbps, but with firewall/security turned on, it still maxes out most of the family’s computers’s capabilities.
As for VPN, big drop in speed because of encryption, and my VPN is on an older server. Truth be told, I’ve never run a speed test over it, only HTTPS.
To my server? 4mbytes/sec on a good day. I haven’t reinstalled my os in years so things are getting really fucky. It’s actually a security measure. My shit is so slow that I’d like to think potential cyber attacks would take too long for it to be worth anyone’s time.
I get the throughput I brought from my ISP. But latency to my VPS is 260ms.
What’s your hoster?
Hetzner. But it looks like the problem is created by the pair (hoster, ISP), and neither of them have a problem by themselves.
1 gbit because google fiber is 1gbit but I typically get 1.2 because they overprovision it so much.
