How reliable is Ookla Speedtest for comparing the speed of two VPSs? I'm trying to compare my Phoenix VPS 9 speed with that of Dallas VPS 9.
After the upgrade of my VPS 9 Phoenix last November from OpenVZ 6 to KVM, my IP was changed. Then when I tested the speed of the VPS it came up with similar results as today's test, like with a HUGE Ping and saying location is Frankfurt, whereas the location is really US in Phoenix. So how reliable is that really? Like with that huge Ping I should feel a huge latency issue with Phoenix, but I don't. My VPS 9 Phoenix performs just as seamless as Dallas, although Dallas feels faster in speed when I work with it (disk speed shows much greater speed as well - refer Benchmark test results of the two VPSs below). Although my ISP does work faster with Dallas.
Below is the Ookla Speedtest that was taken of VPS 9 Phoenix:
And this is the Speedtest of VPS 9 Dallas:
I've done a quick Benchmark test to compare the two (credit to @"Hidden Refuge"):
