Average VPS internet speed?

[Eurater]

I'm thinking about buying a VPS package, but I'm wondering what the average internet speed is when a test is run on speedtest.net? If a couple of people could do this test and post the results, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

The connection speed is 10mbit.

Below is the speed I got when downloading a file using wget. Our VPSes do not have a graphical interface so it is not easily possible to use speedtest.net

They might be guaranteed 10 mbit but that is closer to 100mbit Chris.9.51 megabytes = 76.08 megabits

Correct, i get roughly 10-12 mb/s down speed.

Here is a test I just ran from cachefly.

No all the distros that are offered are the stripped down server versions therefore there is no gui whatsoever.

i get around 10/12mbs download speed too which is great for a dedicated 10 mbs conn xD

The servers offered here are like most servers out there. They don't have a Desktop, all you have is the command line, which you access through ssh.

If you want a GUI based server, you can install xserver(which is like mini bar and pool in a race car, its not a race car after that), you will need to wait for Corey to release Windows based VPS Hosting, or find another VPS service that offers windows

I want to point it out because someone on IRC the other day complained that he "Got cheated" since the VPS didn't have a gui.

lol! got cheated.. anyways I got my vps, they have 100mbit connection (THATS MEGABITS) not MB/s so its about 10MB/s (megabytes) hope it helps!
