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.

Subject [tor-relays] I need a new VPS provider
Hello,
I am currently using gcore.com as my VPS hosting provider. I have been
running a Tor bridge with them for several years now. I am supposed to
be getting 200 Mbps unmetered bandwidth. However, in the past six
months, my bandwidth usage has been declining a lot. It seems like they
might be throttling my server. I was getting over 2000 connected
clients and now I'm down to less than 600. "iftop" shows me about 30 to
60 Mbps bandwidth usage during any time of the day. Take a look...
https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/4A0B065DB3CF807C6910DFEF6D9CCCB95C59C585
So, I am trying to find a Tor friendly VPS provider that offers 1 Gbps
unmetered bandwidth. I found my current provider in an article
describing Tor friendly providers, but I cannot locate that link.
I am currently paying about 15 Euros a month for a server with 2 cores,
4 GB RAM and 100 GB SSD. I would like to pay about the same for my new
service. In my search, I have found some better providers, but they
don't seem to be Tor friendly.
Do you have a good provider that you really like that offers
inexpensive VPS? I would prefer one located in the USA if possible, but
I guess it doesn't matter if the bandwidth is good.
