Telecom International Bandwidth Expansion: 163/CN2 line speed is significantly faster and packet loss is reduced

Recently, I have found that overseas VPS speeds have become much faster, especially those of Telecom. Lines that could not run at night are now faster and the packet loss rate has become lower. Telecom 163 and Telecom CN2 have been optimized. I checked some information online and found that Telecom's international bandwidth has recently been expanded, so Telecom's international speed has also become faster. This article compares the speed and packet loss before and after expansion.

1. Telecom expansion

The news about "telecommunications expansion" dates back to November 2020. "China Telecom will purchase 393 units of equipment related to the CN2-DCI network expansion project":

C114 News November 27: Today, China Telecom issued a pre-review announcement stating that it will purchase equipment related to the 2020 CN2-DCI network expansion project in the near future.

According to the pre-trial announcement, in order to meet the business development needs by the end of 2021, this project will expand the provincial and inter-provincial parts of the CN2-DCI network and build a differentiated, intelligent and service-oriented CN2-DCI premium cloud backbone network , and reserve backbone network ports for industrial Internet-related platforms. The equipment purchased includes: CR-A1 core router, service router, service router (cloud PE), route reflector and access switch.

Judging from the recent telecommunications international speed and packet loss rate tests, the current capacity expansion work has begun to bear fruit.

2. Evaluation of expansion effect

1. Before expansion

This site has shared the evaluation of Banwagonhost CN2 before. Generally speaking, the speed is slow at night and the packet loss rate is high. For detailed evaluation, please refer to: "Evaluation of Banwagonhost CN2 GT: Average speed, serious packet loss at night"

Although it is optimized for Telecom CN2 GT, the speed of Telecom is very slow:

And packet loss is also serious:

2. After expansion

The test time is 8:30 pm, which is also considered the evening rush hour.

3. Selection suggestions

After China Telecom expanded its capacity, the speed of CN2 GT has been significantly improved, and packet loss has also been significantly reduced. Therefore, when using non-CN2 GIA lines recently, the speed feels much faster than before, especially at night. If you choose CN2 GT, the price is still much cheaper than CN2 GIA. Taking bricklayers as an example, the price of CN2 GT is only US$49.99 per year:

Of course, CN2 GIA is more stable. Although the speed of CN2 GT is also good due to expansion reasons, it is still recommended to use CN2 GIA if you want to build a website: "The best CN2 GIA VPS recommendation in 2021 and the compilation of CN2 GIA merchants" 》
