Today had a look at how my VPS 9 was doing speed wise.  Still consistently excellent.  Up time is 143 days.  Right from the beginning of the installation of my last OS.  

Here is the last speed test I took with me in Canada now.  (The speed test in the OP was from South Africa).



This is the last speed test I did before I left South Africa:



I re-applied Hiddens Benchmark Test and these are the differences:

OS: CentOS release 6.9 (Final).  I changed to CentOS release 7.6 when VestaCP Named Server broke after a VestaCP automatic update.  Can't remember the exact date when I did, I think it was in November/December 2018.  I was unable to reboot Named Server and had to start the OS from scratch.
