What's the real world connection speed from your residential IP to your Server? (feddit.de)

I'm using contabo and the VPS I got is advertised as 1 Gigabit. When I do a speedtest or use iperf3 to connect to public servers I get pretty close to 1 Gigabit. But from my residential IP the speed drops down to 100-250 Mbit/s. My home internet connection can handle 500 Mbit just fine.

I'm looking for a new hoster with a better network connection. What real world speeds do you get with your server?

2210 Mbps down, 3360Mbps up.

Not the full 10Gbps, but with firewall/security turned on, it still maxes out most of the family's computers's capabilities.

As for VPN, big drop in speed because of encryption, and my VPN is on an older server. Truth be told, I've never run a speed test over it, only HTTPS.
