Lifetalk your finding is wrong. Filesonic servers are located in Webazilla Network in USA and NL .
IP Location is showing as HK, because RIPE info carry HK address of Filesonic company (EarnWell).

I stand corrected. Thanks.

Thank you guys for clearing this up for this user.

It's not our servers, we know that and thanks to your tests the user now knows it - Very much appreciated.

[Craig M]

Hey guys here is the test File from the new DC Powerloft in Virginia US.

Your feedback is appreciated.

Hey Craig/Darren,

Thought I'd post up some speedtest results here for you.


From a server located in Chicago (SingleHop), connected at 1Gbits:

2011-04-29 17:26:31 (20.1 MB/s) - `/dev/null' saved [524288000/524288000]

Pretty average, considering my server was connected at 1gbit and is generally 95% redundant (barely any network activity on this one, except light DB transactions). It started out real slow, but climbed up about a quarter way through.





From a server in PhoenixNAP (Atlanta), connected at 1Gbit

Very slow. Probably poor routing/peering. But, kinda disappointed. Just like the above, this one has a lot of redundant capacity too. But seeing it top out at maximum 10mbps was a let down. I could PM you traceroute and such if you need them to look into it, just lemme know.





From a server in Los Angeles (WebNX), connected at 100mbps

Topped out. Pretty, pretty good!

About the same as that from SingleHop. Not bad, but not really impressive. Maybe poor routing/peering again, on this one? Oh and this server also has redundant bandwidth all the time.


Overall, the results are average. Not really noticeable on a 100mbps connection, but for servers connected at 1Gbit, the network performance is average. Probably needs some time and/or tweak.


I also noticed you guys have a tad higher pricing on the US servers. You think those prices will be going down? Or stay that way and then rise? Because from what I've seen (I actively monitor/research the dedicated server market) servers in the US are generally cheaper compared to those in the EU/NL.

[Craig M]

Lifetalk,

Thanks for your feedback.

Could you possibly send me the trace routes of all of them and we can try and tweak them?

We may be introducing a promotional code for them next month which may interest users so that is something to look out for.

[virtuallynathan]

I was able to max out a 1gbit/s server in the BlueMile datacenter in Columbus, OH. with that test file.

Leaseweb itself selling 100TB servers from 139euro onwards. Looks like leaseweb want to oversell
