BandwagonHost has recently launched its new Japan Tokyo DC39 data center, along with a limited-time special VPS plan — SAKURABOX. According to the official announcement, it features Direct China connectivity, which has attracted significant attention from users interested in BandwagonHost VPS services. But how does it perform in reality? How is the connectivity from mainland China? Is the performance stable? This review provides a detailed analysis of its network routing, bandwidth speed, latency, and streaming unlock capabilities.
CPU: AMD EPYC 9004 Series (likely EPYC Genoa 9534)
Clock Speed: 2445.404 MHz
Disk I/O: 1365 MB/s, excellent performance
BBR Acceleration: Enabled
2. China Bandwidth Test (Multiple Nodes)
The VPS bandwidth performance was tested across multiple regions, with the following results:
Guangzhou Unicom Download Test: Average 47.8 MB/s
Other Regions: Performance varies depending on routing; refer to detailed charts for specifics
3. China Network Routing Analysis
China Telecom (Outbound): CN2 direct route to Japan
China Unicom (Outbound): AS4837 direct route to Japan
China Mobile (Outbound): CMI direct route to Japan
China Telecom (Inbound): Forced via China Mobile CMI
China Unicom (Inbound): Forced via China Mobile CMI
China Mobile (Inbound): CMI return route
Conclusion: The outbound routing quality is excellent, but the inbound traffic is fully forced through China Mobile CMI, which may affect performance for some users.
4. Streaming Unlock Test
Initial testing shows that this IP can successfully access some streaming platforms, though results may vary depending on the service.
