ServaRICA is announcing a free network upgrade to 1gbp:

We are happy to inform you that clients 1gbps VM ports are up and ready.

You can now switch to the new 1gbps by going through the client area and follow these instructions
https://servarica.com/clients/knowledgebase/12/How-to-Switch-to-1Gbps-Port.html

Once you switch your VPS will be able to use 1gbps port to the internet (It does no mean you can get full 1gbps to any destination as that depend on routing and congestion of the routes between our uplinks and the destination but you will definitely get better results than 100mbps to most destinations )

Basically, for Bandwidth we have now 4 options

• 1- Unlimited 100mbps (the one you are using now) (free)
• 2- 1gbps for first 4TB used (up and down counted) then it will revert to 10mbps unlimited (you can switch to this option from the client area as shown in the instruction link)
• 3- 1gbps for first 4TB then switch back to 100mbps unlimited (2$ extra per month) (you need to open ticket to switch to this option) (free)
• 4- 1gbps for first 4TB then you pay 2$/TB extra while remaining on 1gbps (you need to open ticket to switch to this option)

For the month of September you can switch back and forth between option 1 and 2 from your client area
once the month finish you will remain on what ever option you choose last (need to open ticket if you want to switch at start of the month to other option after the end of this month)

How to Upgrade to 1Gps Network?

Switching is super easy: login to (client area) dashboard and select “1Gbps for the first 4TB and then 10mbps unlimited”. However, if you have a large traffic – you should really think about it. I checked mine and it used far less than the 4TB quota (roughly 50 GB per month) on the VPS Server which basically runs a Apache2 server.

There is no need to restart the VPS or whatsoever. The bandwidth setting is taking effects immediately. We can run the following benchmarking command the verify that we have the new 1Gbps speed:

wget -qO- bench.sh | bash

wget -qO- bench.sh | bash
