Slow download speed

Hi guys,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this question but I believe some moderator can move the thread to the correct place;)

Anyway one of our customers are getting very slow download speed from his VPS, between 15-25kbps. He used to get 200+ before but for some reason it has dropped down to 15-25.

The thing is that we can't find what the problem is. His traceroute is okay so it's most probably nothing wrong with his connection. I should add that I get the same speed as he does but one of our support members is getting 250kbps+.

So does anyone have an idea what might be causing this?

The VPS is running on a Quad-Core 750 server with 16gb Ram, it has an unmeterd 100mbit connection and is virtualized using OpenVZ.

Hope someone has an idea what might be wrong.

Thanks

visit the Datacenter forum, check are there any Network maintenance in progress announcement and if they were done just days ago, it may take 1-2 days for traffic to reshape back to shape as border routers again rebuild cache (depends on maintaince and what optimization is used by DC)

Do you traceroute to your domain , check for low/high replies , paste them to your DC or Webhost admin helpdesk or support system asking then to evaluate that for you.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
