Ok so using a ‘local’ server: <br> <br>julian/speedtest-cli# speedtest --server 3564 <br>Retrieving speedtest.net configuration… <br>Retrieving speedtest.net server list… <br>Testing from Petersburg Internet Network ltd. (37.139.3.172)… <br>Hosted by ISP Services (Doetinchem) [1720.13 km]: 63.976 ms <br>Testing download speed… <br>Download: 610.40 Mbit/s <br>Testing upload speed… <br>Upload: 43.64 Mbit/s <br> <br>Pretty good :)
Wait I lied… just ran the test again and got 37Mbit up.
<br>I know why the test is so slow now too. My IP according to geo location is in russia… so speedtest downloads from russia.
17 Mbit up, 116Mbit down from AM server using speedtest.net. <br> <br>Not to great as the upload speed is exactly what I get at home (yes I am lucky), down is pretty good as I suspect that is the server limit from where I download. <br> <br>https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli <br> <br>
Run this command on both VPSes: <br> <br>curl -s https://kmlnsr.me/speedtest.sh | bash <br> <br>You can check if VirtIO is enabled by running the following command: <br> <br>df | grep vda <br> <br>If it outputs a line with /dev/vda - it means VirtIO is enabled.
thanks for the reply Kamal. I just did a transfer from my 1and1 to godaddy and I received 11 MBPS. That tells me the old server connection is fine. <br> <br>I did enable VirtIO. Isn’t that something you choose to enable when creating the droplet. How do I check if its actually enabled? <br> <br>Thanks
@anil_mndl: It depends on your old server’s connection. Do you have VirtIO enabled on your droplet?
I am transferring my site from 1and1 philadelphia server to digital ocean amsterdam server. The files on the old server is zipped and being 'wget’ted to amsterdam server. I am getting speeds like 70 - 100 K / s. Isn’t this too slow. I think it should be atleast few M / s, am I right?
We have new speed test files up: <br> <br>NEW YORK: http://198.211.116.146/ <br>AMSTERDAM: http://198.211.119.108/
I’ve just tested both links and was downloading at the same speed, give it a shot at a different time and see if you are seeing the same download speed.
Hi, <br> <br>The results i get when i test with: <br>http://speedtest-ny1.digitalocean.com/test.zip - Maxes my connection at 13Mbps <br>& <br>http://speedtest.nyc.digitalocean.com/100MB - I only get 2Mbps <br> <br>Why the difference?
