Gigabit Servers

[djbitzc]

Hello,

I am wondering what speed upload/download speed is of my server.

I am using a VPS on eclipse.nocdirect.com

The reason I am asking is I have FIOS and I want determine what is going to be faster for my file storage.

Thanks

John, our servers are connected to 100 Mbps lines. Upload/Download speed depends on our network as well your connection. You may open a support ticket with details of your issue so that we can assist you further.

No problems, Just checking to see what I have or is available.

Forum member VinDSL created a bandwidth meter for his site. Assuming you are hosted in the same data center that he's in, you can use that to get an estimate of what kind of speeds to expect:

Hi djbitzc,

Feel free to open a ticket with our customer service department and we can look into seeing if 1000mbit connectivity is available on one of our VZ servers.

Well it appears he is on KRAKEN which is in TX and NeOTrace is mapping the path the same.

I was getting 14.15 Mbps.

If you were to run multiple simultaneous tests you'd likely max out your FiOS connection before you max out the server.

The issue for you (assuming your fios is provisioned for more than 14mbps) is one of I/O latency-- the amount of time the packets take to traverse the net. Not much can be done about that issue, and increasing the port speed on your VPS won't change anything. IMHO

Try speedtest.speakeasy.net

PS I'm also on FiOS with a 20/5 package.

I'm doing if more for my photo collections. I'm more concerned about the upload/download speed so I'm not sitting around all day uploading them.
