RapidSpeeds.com - 100Mbps/1Gbps Unmetered Dedicated Servers, From ?95 (NL & US)

The servers do not use a dedicated Gbit port.

guys please read the previous posts.

each server has 500mbps dedicated link which is burstable to 1000mbps.

Do your remaining calculation's now.

1Gbit is not a DUBLEX port. Its means u can use totaly (in+out) 300-330TB BW MAX capasity.
300TB in 300TB out BW is WRONG.

[Craig M]

300TB or 100000TB Traffic is possible, its unmetered.

As for the Gbit Port, it is Full Duplex therefore you can send gbit speeds up and down at the same time, it has been proven mutiple times from our customers.

I have tested your servers and in no way is it possible, the maximum I could push through your servers in one month is around 23TB, the speed is more like 100Mbps.

[Craig M]

Sorry but you completely wrong. We do not have any limits on our servers, therefore you must not be utilizing your bandwidth enough.

Bought a server the other day. The Q2000. Figured I would post my review on here

I run LulzImg.com and quite a few people know how bandwidth intensive that site can (or rather, does) get. So no surprise I needed a decent server. I was consistently going back and forth on deciding between 100TB.com and RapidSpeeds. 100TB was my primary consideration because they're Softlayer. They have better routing to the US and the rest of the world. The only downside to LeaseWeb is their routing to the US is not all that great. But for a site that is supposed to serve small (majority) sized images, an OK routing did not matter and I paid for the Q2000.

My server was delivered in about 2 hours from payment. God bless them for that because I really needed it delivered ASAP (an entire branch of images was down on my site because it was killing my existing server). Took me a while to get used to the entire KVM and the iDRAC panel but it's awesome!

The server itself is better powered then the 100TB server. They have an x3220 Quad Core. RapidSpeeds have a standard X3430 Quad Core. Of course, there's about a $25 difference in the price, but well worth it.

I haven't had to use support at all since I got the server, so I can't comment on that. But I do believe I won't be disappointed support wise either. If their deployment times are this decent, their support has to be decent too.

Speeds, well. That really depends on what you're using the server for. I had to transfer a 13gig backup from my US server to the RapidSpeeds server. That took me about 90 minutes at a sustained average transfer rate of about 10-12mbits (mBITS, not BYTES). But like I said, that's because of average routing between these two locations/DCs.
Since then, though, my server (about 48 hours now) has been doing an average 160mbits of transfer all day. It is capable of bursting to 250mbits and over when the need arises (peak times in usage) but the point is - this server IS capable of going up to as much as 1gbps if the need arises. So, I'll say, very well worth the money.

Of course, 48 hours is never enough to draw conclusion, but so far, things have been good. I'll continue monitoring the performance and keep reporting back with how things have been for me with RapidSpeeds.

why is the owner banned?

[Lifetalk]

No idea. But Craig M here is a co-owner or support staff. So he handles queries on KWWH.

[Craig M]

Indeed i am The Co-Owner of Rapidspeeds you may ask me anything you want about RapidSpeeds.

Thanks lifetalk, i'm sure everything will be fine in months to come but if you have any problems don't hesitate to ask us or pm me.
