Contabo now available in Sydney Australia
well, my first discussion here glad to finally contribute.
I just got an email from them and decided to buy one to see.
edit: adding link https://contabo.com/en/locations/australia also note, that the plans gave me double storage, and they have free setup offer for a limited time.
G’day from Australia!
The launch of the new AUS Region is a next step forward in our quest to provide German quality and low prices globally.
Our cloud instances and dedicated servers in this new location are a great solution for anyone living in Australia or those who want to reach the Australian market.
Our newly launched Storage VPS is also available in this new Australian Region.
Existing instances can be migrated to our new Region as well. More information about the migration are available in our Product Documentation.
Find out more about our new AUS Region and the launch promotion here.
Best regards,

the routing seems great, they are using HE international transit, and Telstra for local transit

I see contabo still strong on theirs disk speed game >:D
Haven't bought a single service in VirMach Great Ryzen 2022 - 2023 Flash Sale.

https://www.speedtest.net/result/c/59b8e681-fdea-4c7b-a90c-b8d6868c1c40
issue seems to be within contabo themselves
I had a server from contabo once - Never ever again. Used it for 2 hours, then gave up. Support is non existent, and the replies you get are terribe. Not in any way ok for production.
https://www.speedtest.net/result/c/5da3acdd-4274-40fc-ac61-6ab0af3748c0
this service is just idling currently, time to contact support
this is sad.
my other service with them that has services running on it is perfectly fine
https://www.speedtest.net/result/c/9481ad62-71db-4e59-92f0-4286e98a464c
i really wonder how anyone has good vps performance at contabo.
I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.
Cheap, lots of storage, I/O performance can be gotten around by caching in RAM, and lots of (very shit) bandwidth. It's honestly probably fine for a lot of usecases, just not great for people who run YABS 24/7. I would still never use them personally but I see how people are able to.
