As the most popular data center for racknerd, San Jose has always been highly regarded, comparable to Los Angeles, especially since one of the China-US submarine cable landing points is also located in San Jose. The last time we reviewed racknerd's San Jose VPS was on May 25, 2021. To provide you with the latest information and help you make informed decisions before purchasing, we're sharing this comprehensive review data. For those who prefer a quick summary: Native US IP that unlocks TikTok, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Netflix, etc.; VPS performance is average with less-than-ideal test results; direct connection for all three major Chinese carriers on outbound routes, then connecting to international lines to the data center; for return routes, China Telecom and China Mobile mostly use West Coast peer or PoP to go overseas back to China, while China Unicom uses pure international lines back to China. China Mobile's network speed is particularly poor during peak hours.
