Webhost4life download speeds?

[boborg]

Anybody here got experience with download speeds from webhost4life? I'm experiencing speeds of 20-25 kb/sec from my account. Support says the normal would be 80 and they have tested this at their end.

I'm based in Europe (Denmark) and can download fine (my max line capacity is 217 kb/sec) from other US servers.

I've put up a zip file if you want to test speed. Reports from US users would be appreciated.

21.7KB/s from our 10meg/s server. Pretty slow.

~30KBPS from here one of our servers (has a 1Gbps card). Normally get download rates of 200 to 300KBPS

So yes, that is pretty slow.

Thanks guys.

Certainly the excuse below I've got from their support seems pretty poor. I guess you get what you pay for...

Let us know when you got the rest result. I would believe this is because geographical difference since information need to travel through wire for a really long distance, performance will be affected greately.

22kbps here.

I am guessing they are Denmark based going from their domain?

But yeah, it seems either they really oversold their lines, or they are uploading using a cable connection. =)

Webhost4life is US based. My domain sattv.dk which is a danish page is hosted by them.

Starting to look like the server is only on either a 10Meg link or NIC :rolleyes2
