Detailed Review of sixtynet's US Astound Residential IP VPS
[sixtynet] has launched a new US residential VPS/home VPS with dual ISP IP properties. The upstream IP provider is "[Astound Broadband]". For IP security reasons, ports 80 and 443 are deliberately blocked (to avoid changing the dual ISP properties). This residential VPS series officially advertises 10Gbps bandwidth (actually might be 1Gbps), with CN2+CUII network access, starting at $20/month (minimum 5TB traffic/month). Special note: [Wave Broadband] now belongs to Astound, as it was acquired in 2018. The following are some test data for reference only.
