So I started ANOTHER hosting company. IonVZ.com - Softlayer Datacenter



Here's the download result from my server (not softlayer). 100mbps connection.

I got a windows box hosted at the planet on unmetered 100mbps.

Here is the spec on the 100mb file:

100MB in 46 sec @ 2.17MB/sec

spec on 10mb file:

11MB in 7 sec @ 1.57MB/sec


Broadband results on my box:

Tested @ Speakeasy -

Down Speed - 7.57MB/sec

Up Speed - 12.15MB/sec

This box is one I have located in a Dallas, TX datacenter.

I'm confused, are they both test files or are you just comparing your "The Planet" Server on a test file to your broadband to speakeasy, try downloading the file on your box in dallas. (The server is located in dallas btw)
 
let me clarify:

the two top results are your test files downloaded sourcing from my box in dallas (on 100mbps).

The broadband results area (bottom) is just a general broadband speed test ran on my box in dallas.

That's quite a drop going from one datacenter to another in the same city. Last person I had test it (Different data center in california, but he had a 1gbit line like the server we have) said it peaked at 57MB/sec for him.

Can't seem to find a working speed test link for the planet via google, and any cached copies of forums tend to show it being on the slow side.

By the way speakeasy shares the same datacenter as your box, which would explain why your upload speed maxed out on your box.

Gbit fail.
 
Say, do you have a list of OSes supported? Is any closed-source OS (that runs on a x86 platform) supported as well? :P
Edit: Oh, and how about the "dreaded" TUN/TAP interface along with the appropriate kernel module?

Since it's OpenVz only Linux platforms are supported, and most of these can be copied to the server to be used as well: Download/template/precreated - OpenVZ Wiki (The host node is CentOS, so you wouldn't be able to load say FreeBSD under it)

TUN/TAP is enabled on the kernel, but none of the VPSes have them on by default.

Edit: because of the effect it has on the processor (especially when someone installs OpenVPN) we're not allowing customers to have TUN/TAP on their VPSes.

What effect? :P (Yeah, I guessed this effect happens only when the interface is actually in use)

I'm the one who doesn't allow vpns and vncs. Our servers are for hosting sites and that's it... too many people like to use them to browse the Internet and get in all sorts of trouble with IPs registered to my name.

:P A worst case scenario is installing KDE or Gnome, logging in via VNC and running firefox with 40-50 tabs with a special plugin designed to spam forums :P, essentially trying to use an equal-cpu-share VPS as a full-on desktop computer.

That's it? I mean no CPU-crunching operations or system-crashing bugs (logical reasons :P)?
And for the record I'd definitely have a (semi)legitimate use of the service too. You Yanks are probably not aware (nor do you probably care), but many of your sites have limitations that restrict content (or even goods) to US-only source IPs. So if I'm to buy/download a freakin' song on Amazon.com (I'm in Europe) I can't do that. The reason? "Sorry, we're a private club. Only Yanks allowed." (actually US residents, but the only difference is probably in the voting rights). Or if I'm to watch a (US-only) TV stream (yeah, I'd love to watch e.g. John Stewart's Daily Show, even if the time difference's a bitch, or at least record it or something) or dozens of other things.

Sure, I could (and can) use a proxy for most of the things as well. But sometimes a VPN's just more convenient. Or say, is proxy usage frowned upon too? Besides, don't you have a precedent exempting you as an ISP from responsibility in such cases?

Edit: @kblessinggr Oh come on! (Text-mode) scripts can do that and not everyone's a noob who can't make a single move in the Unix-land without KDE/Gnome!

Could always just SSH tunnel until you maxed out your bandwidth... still don't see a need for a VPN in that instance.
 
I'll just say this... I've never been contacted by the FBI because someone was hosting files. I have been contacted by the FBI because of places an IP I owned has decided to roam. I'm sure plenty of my clients use their accounts for the same reason you want one, and when I catch them, I ban them.

It's too much of a giant pain in my ass. Proxies are cheap.

Then I still don't see the point in forbidding VPNs (actually the TUN/TAP interface, but that means practically the same). I mean what does it allow you to do that you couldn't without some other way (and is illegal/immoral/anti-Christian)?

Edit: What kind of roaming do you mean? Oh and excueeze me, are you accusing me of malevolent intentions? Is trying to buy music by LEGAL MEANS (instead of resorting to torrents/rapidshare/megaupload etc.) something bad? Or watching LEGAL video streams meant for Yanks only?
