Doing a test of having 50 download streams at the same time on a box with gig-e, I am seeing the following:
Max speed for a single download:
e5hosting: 7.5 Mbits
pdghosting: 10 Mbits
xs4all: 3mbits (this is low because of extra latency between amsterdam and the US)
Max speed for 50 downloads concurrently.
e5hosting: 50 Mbits (Webserver seems to be on a 100Mbit uplink to their switch, with a 100Mbit uplink to Verio, normally running at 50% capacity)
xs4all: 150 Mbits (Probably could do more, seems to be either load balanced or a single server on gig-e, requires many concurrent downloads to get high throughput because of high latency crossing the atlantic -- US cablemodem end users would be unlikely to see high speeds from because of this high latency)
pdghosting: 10 Mbits (Webserver seems to be on a 10Mbit uplink to their switch - though they seem to have a gig-e to abovenet)
