Pretty much a perfect 1 Gigabit, because that's my LAN speed and my server is at home :(

My server is on my LAN, so I get full Gigabit connection.
Distributed my servers across a couple old PC's hooked up to a 10 gig switch, admittedly I hardly use it for anything - but my syncthing cloud maxes out any connection locally
But from my residential IP the speed drops down to 100-250 Mbit/s. My home internet connection can handle 500 Mbit just fine.
Maybe the issue is that your ISP has bad peering to some networks including the one where your VPS is?
In that case it might be possible to reroute the connection somehow. If another big player has a better connection, someone might use that as proxy. No idea if that really works but it might.
There's a couple SD-WAN solutions out there that you can do this with. Essentially route all your traffic through one or more VPSes while still keeping things like port forwards and STUN working properly.
I've had to use it to enable proper video feeds to and from people that had Spectrum as their ISP.
Very interesting! Thank you so much for chiming in. Always glad to have pros in here.
Where I live I only have LTE/cell for internet. I work from home. I use this https://www.openmptcprouter.com/
So I can have multiple WAN connections at home. Not sure if it would work in reverse. Maybe if you installed it backwards?
Maybe the IPv6 tunnel from Hurricane Electric?
20gbps... but only because i don't have 100gbps nics in everything in my house.
Local is best.
2210 Mbps down, 3360Mbps up.
Not the full 10Gbps, but with firewall/security turned on, it still maxes out most of the family's computers's capabilities.
As for VPN, big drop in speed because of encryption, and my VPN is on an older server. Truth be told, I've never run a speed test over it, only HTTPS.
I get the throughput I brought from my ISP. But latency to my VPS is 260ms.
What's your hoster?
Hetzner. But it looks like the problem is created by the pair (hoster, ISP), and neither of them have a problem by themselves.
Had the same problem, I found the problem with my ISP , you can do speed test to different servers in speedtest.net . I observes a huge decrease in speed to many servers. This is mostly cause my ISP had bad peering to most servers. Only nearby servers gave full 200Mbps speed. Even some within same country agave <50. The single connection speeds would mist likely be less cause of your ISP's bad peering. This doesn't mean you won't ever get the full speed . when multiple connections are made from different places they would be using the full 1gig speed.
To my server? 4mbytes/sec on a good day. I haven't reinstalled my os in years so things are getting really fucky. It's actually a security measure. My shit is so slow that I'd like to think potential cyber attacks would take too long for it to be worth anyone's time.
I get about 10-15mbps down from my VPS using a single TCP stream. I get over 200mbps using UDP, it pretty much maxes out my internet connection. The VPS is over 1100 miles away, so there quite a bit of latency.
1 gbit because google fiber is 1gbit but I typically get 1.2 because they overprovision it so much.
Look in your fine print, I think Contabo like many other VPS providers have a "only full speed for 5 minutes per hour" or so clause and when you exceed that you get slowed down to 100mbit or so.
These servers tend to be heavily over-provisioned and are not intended to run a VPN on.
My plan is 500 gigs down, but my computer (Ethernet wired to the server) gets transferal speeds of about 4 megs down. Super cool
About 90mbps down and 31 Mbps up. Sometimes they dip though.
We will be getting fiber soon™ (probably 5 years of so)
On the bright side, 2 phones with 10GB data + data is 70€ per month and 60 of it is pre-tax payments. So in reality, probably more like 40€ per month.
