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?

Maybe the issue is that your ISP has bad peering to some networks including the one where your VPS is?
I get the throughput I brought from my ISP. But latency to my VPS is 260ms.
What’s your hoster?
Hetzner. But it looks like the problem is created by the pair (hoster, ISP), and neither of them have a problem by themselves.
Had the same problem, I found the problem with my ISP , you can do speed test to different servers in speedtest.net . I observes a huge decrease in speed to many servers. This is mostly cause my ISP had bad peering to most servers. Only nearby servers gave full 200Mbps speed. Even some within same country agave <50. The single connection speeds would mist likely be less cause of your ISP’s bad peering. This doesn’t mean you won’t ever get the full speed . when multiple connections are made from different places they would be using the full 1gig speed.
I get about 10-15mbps down from my VPS using a single TCP stream. I get over 200mbps using UDP, it pretty much maxes out my internet connection. The VPS is over 1100 miles away, so there quite a bit of latency.
About 90mbps down and 31 Mbps up. Sometimes they dip though.
We will be getting fiber soon™ (probably 5 years of so)
On the bright side, 2 phones with 10GB data + data is 70€ per month and 60 of it is pre-tax payments. So in reality, probably more like 40€ per month.
1 gbit because google fiber is 1gbit but I typically get 1.2 because they overprovision it so much.
Look in your fine print, I think Contabo like many other VPS providers have a “only full speed for 5 minutes per hour” or so clause and when you exceed that you get slowed down to 100mbit or so.
These servers tend to be heavily over-provisioned and are not intended to run a VPN on.
My plan is 500 gigs down, but my computer (Ethernet wired to the server) gets transferal speeds of about 4 megs down. Super cool
