2gbit vpn please help me test my upload speed

[Teks0427]

I dont know why people on KWWH dont understand the meaning of VPS.

Its a Virtual Server with SHARED PORT i repeat : SHARED PORT...

We weren't looking for 2gbit speeds because we understand that a VPS is, in simple terms, x number of people sharing y bits per second...

If you take a 1gbit connection and divide it between 10 people equally (for the sake of argument, let's assume it can be done), everyone will have the potential equivalent of a 100Mbps connection, am I correct?

Now, if you take a 2gbit connection and divide it between 20 people, we still potentially have the equivalent of a 100Mbps connection per person.

If 100Mbps = 100Mbps, what advantage would the 2gbit connection have over the 1gbit connection? Theoretically, the advantage would be if there were idle clients on the 2gbit connection.

But then again, if there were also idle clients on the 1gbit connection, you would need twice as many idle clients on the 2gbit connection to even things out again. 1 client on the 1gbit connection uses 10% of the bandwidth whereas on the 2gbit connection, 1 client only takes away 5% of the bandwidth.

And if there would be 5 idle clients on the 1gbit line at a particular time of day, it doesn't mean that if you replace that line with a 2gbit connection, 10 people would go idle.

There are too many ifs and buts if you compare the two since there are a lot of variables present. But the bottom line is, a 2gbit connection should be faster than a 1gbit connection. Just like 200 miles per hour is faster than 100 miles per hour.

Oh, and yes, I understand enough to know that a dedi is faster than a VPS... In fact, in this case, a 100Mbit dedi is much faster than a 2gbit VPS. That's comparing apples to oranges. But if a 1gbit DEMO ACCOUNT VPS goes FASTER than a 2gbit VPS, I think there's something amiss...

I think you have to agree with that point...

@Teks0427

Your explanation is very thorough. I hope that will shut snkr007 up. You have to pardon him. He obviously thinks he knows everything when he doesn't.

I've used both Evoboxes and Boxslots and hit 70-80mb/s on a constant basis on a shared VPS and that's on a 1gbit connection.

@kennt

Thank you. That was just common sense. Comparing a dedi to a VPS is like comparing a Ferrari to a bus....

[djscooby]

so guy's just to know if for example i go for a dedi with 100mbit port how mutch speed may i expect can it reach 20MB/s or 10MB @ full speed ? cause on a vps i can reach 10+MB/s form the tests people did on my vps

I mean what are the benefits for such a buy ? i am newby regarding this and ive seen some offers for dedi for example at boxlots at a price near a 2gb VPS and i'm thinking it..
what would you suggest me ?

You'd get around 10-12Mbps average on a 100Mbit dedi line. Just don't expect to get that speed when you're downloading from filehosts. They've limited top speed to 3Mbps, dickheads...

But at least you won't be affected by other people hogging the bandwidth...
