What's the real world connection speed from your residential IP to your Server? - eviltoast

I’m using contabo and the VPS I got is advertised as 1 Gigabit. When I do a speedtest or use iperf3 to connect to public servers I get pretty close to 1 Gigabit. But from my residential IP the speed drops down to 100-250 Mbit/s. My home internet connection can handle 500 Mbit just fine.

I’m looking for a new hoster with a better network connection. What real world speeds do you get with your server?

    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.
