Yes, downloading test files from 50mb up to 2gb in size peaked around 900k/s with drops to as low as 100k/s. Sometimes it would take a few minutes for videos to even start streaming on my tube site. Whenever I bought traffic to feed to it to build up my trades it would just crash the server.
Now I have moved from a dedicated at Webair to a VPS at AmeriNOC. My average download rate at my new server is averaging about 600k/s.
I'm on Verizon FIOS 25/5, and I average around 2.5mb/s downloading data from most sources.
Some might say it's because I'm actually sharing my bandwidth now with people on the server. I don't believe it would make this much difference. It's a 100 mbps uplink to 1 gbps tunnel and should still average around 10mb/s download rate even with heavy traffic.
100 mbps = 10mb/s (actutally around 12.5mb/s) correct?
I'm really at the maximum I'm willing to pay for a server for a tube site that isn't even generating me money at this point.
The support at AmeriNOC has been good so far. I've been in contact with Matt, Zach, and Chris. They are aware of my concerns about the speed of my server. I just hope they can resolve it without telling me I have to upgrade to a dedicated server. I've already been that route with no results. I have had several basic shared servers for $10/month that can achieve the speeds I'm experiencing so far.
I'd just like to be able to buy some traffic to feed my site without wasting another $300 just to crash my server.
