Network Evaluation: CN2 GIA Return Path Across All Three Networks, Full 1Gbps Performance
The network performance is impressive:
- Upload/Download speed: Most domestic and Asian nodes can reach near 1Gbps
- Global performance: Upload speeds exceed 600Mbps in Europe and the US
- Average latency: Around 52ms, which is excellent
Routing details:
- China Telecom: Outbound via CN2 GIA, return path also via CN2 direct connection
- China Unicom: Outbound via AS4837 to Tokyo, return via CN2
- China Mobile: Outbound via CMI international route, return via CN2 GIA
This means all three networks use CN2 GIA on the return path, making it ideal for high-quality relay and hosting applications.
Streaming Unlock and IP Quality
Automated testing confirms this DMIT Japan VPS provides a Japan native IP, capable of unlocking:
- Japanese Netflix
- Japanese TikTok
- Various Japan-local AI service platforms
While some highly restricted Japanese TV services may still be inaccessible, overall IP quality is classified as a standard broadcast-grade native IP, offering solid stability and compatibility.
Video Streaming Test: Exceptional Speed on Mobile Networks, Peaking at 390K+
When tested from a China Mobile network, YouTube streaming through the VPS reached speeds of 390K+, extremely fast to the point where local playback performance was the bottleneck. China Telecom and Unicom users can expect even better performance.
