Preface: The Ultimate Test During Peak Season
existOff-peak testing for the first partWe found that both long-distance optimized lines and short-distance ordinary lines can run at full bandwidth.Evening peak period (8 p.m.), how will their respective performance be? This article will reveal the final test results.

Peak hour (8 pm) speed test results
1. Japan & Singapore (Short-distance ordinary routes)
- Download speed: ~580-600 Mbps
- analyze: The result was unexpected. Not only did the speed of these two ordinary lines, which are close to each other, not drop during the evening peak hours, they even performed better than during the day, easily filling up my home broadband.
2. Silicon Valley, USA (Long Distance Ordinary Line – Residential IP)
- Download speed: about 111 Mbps
- analyze: The speed is roughly halved, which is in line with the commonly expected network congestion during the evening rush hour. However, this speed is still fast enough to watch HD videos smoothly.
3. United States (Long Distance Ordinary Line – CC)
- Download speed: 4.3 Mbps
- analyze: Speeds have plummeted from 240+ Mbps during the day to single digits, with availability essentially lost. This fully demonstrates the huge uncertainty faced by ordinary lines during peak hours.
4. Los Angeles, USA (Long-Distance Optimization – BandwagonHost)
- Download speed: 573 Mbps
- analyze: It was rock solid. The results were almost identical to those from the daytime test, easily saturating my home broadband. The value of optimizing the line was fully demonstrated at this moment.
Final comparison and purchase summary
| Line Type | Geographical location | Off-peak download speed | Peak download speed | Performance degradation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ordinary lines | Close range (Japanese/Singapore) | ~580 Mbps | ~590 Mbps | None (or even slightly increased) |
| Ordinary lines | Long distance (US-residential IP) | ~250 Mbps | ~111 Mbps | ~55% |
| Ordinary lines | Long distance (US-CC) | ~244 Mbps | ~4 Mbps | ~98% (crash) |
| Optimize routes | Long distance (US-bricklayer) | ~576 Mbps | ~573 Mbps | Almost zero |
From the two-day complete test, we can draw a very clear purchase conclusion:
- Close distance is king: If your main need is to access services in Asia, choose a high-qualityJapan or Singapore ordinary line VPS, it can provide you with a stable and high-speed experience around the clock.
- Required optimization for long distances: If you need to frequently access services in Europe and the United States, aWith CN2 GIA, CMIN2 and other optimized linesIt is a guaranteed experiencenecessityWhile more expensive, it offers consistent, “all-day, no-compromise” performance.
- Long distance ordinary line is " lottery ”: If you buy this type of VPS, especially from a budget provider, its performance during peak hours is completely unpredictable. Unless you only use it during off-peak hours, it's not recommended as your primary server.
