bandwidth rate limited

**thisisit3** · 10-09-2011, 02:03 PM

I noticed that my VPS has its bandwidth rate limited to about 500kb/s.

Is it possible to have the limit raised? Do I need to change to a different VPS package or is there some "addon" that I need to order?

Thank you.

Hello,
All VPS are capped at 10Mbps and there is no way of raising that limit unfortunately.
Kind regards.

Perfect.

well, 10Mbps means 1024Kb/s right? so I'm getting about half of the limit. I'll have to do some tests and see if I'm doing something wrong myself.

No, i dont think so.... 1024Kb/s is 1Mbit (give or take 24)

10Mbps would be 1024x10

Be careful with how your measuring tool is reporting things: if the "b" is a "B" you're talking Bytes not bits. :-). In which case the difference is a factor of 8 or 9 depending on the protocol http should be 8. So 10Mbps would be about 1.25MBs

I always use "kbps" for kilobits, I don't see the capital K used when using bits.

According to Wikipedia:

Kilobit per second

A kilobit per second (kbit/s, kb/s, or kbps) is a unit of data transfer rate equal to:

* 1000 bits per second or
* 125 bytes per second.

...and to complicate things just a bit more:

Kibibit per second

A kibibit per second (Kibit/s or Kib/s) is a unit of data transfer rate equal to 1,024 bits per second. The word "kibibit" is not capitalized, but the abbreviation "Kibit" is.

Yes, WikiPeeingYa, the font of all knowledge urologic...

Yes, there is tons of confustion about what a Mbit is too, whether it's multiples of 1000 or 1024, but that it mostly a rounding error when looking at communications throughput issues when latency and/or overhead are also in the mix.

haha, but the WikiPeeingYa page agrees with no capitalization for kbps and since that is how I always write it they must be right. :P

I usually don't reference wiki unless it's non controversial but I guess in this case it is controversial.

I don't think it's controversial or right or wrong. It's just confusing and inconsistent in usage everywhere. Thankfully it's only a small percentage issue.

In the financial world M is always 1,000 and MM is good to eat. It is also 1,000,000 So I guess we overload that too.

How fast are the hybrid servers? What are they capped at?

They are set to 100 mbps ports.

**gohighvoltage** · 10-15-2011, 01:58 PM

Are all the VPS servers 100mbps ports?

**JPC-Ross** · 10-16-2011, 05:02 PM

Hello,
The node is on a 100Mbps port yes, but as mentioned the containers created are limited to 10Mbps.

**Ron** · 10-16-2011, 07:43 PM

The confusion is about normal VPS vs Hybrid VPS.

My take on the 9info put forward here is:

"Normal VPS" is on 10Mbps
"Hybrid VPS" is on 100Mbps.

Is that correct?

**JPC-Ross** · 10-16-2011, 07:53 PM

As far as I'm aware, all VPS, including hybrid, are set to 10Mbps. Sorry for the confusion.
