[tor-relays] I need a new VPS provider

[Dionysios K.]

1 Gbps advertised is the NIC of the server itself.

The NIC, however, is shared with other VPS accounts on the bare metal.

Shared resources (even on KVM) are the definition of VPS and why they're 
cheaper.

If you want the performance you seek, you're looking for 
dedicated/co-location, not a VPS.
