1. Review Summary
The VMISS UK London 9929 VPS delivers an impressive performance. Its core advantage lies in deep routing optimization for China Unicom and China Telecom, significantly improving connectivity between the UK and mainland China.
- Stable Network Latency: Average latency to mainland China ranges from 160ms–240ms. Considering the long UK–China distance, this is an excellent result, especially in North, East, and South China regions.
- Three-Network Optimized Return Routing: The key highlight is the return path. Both China Telecom and China Unicom use the Unicom 9929 (AS9929) backbone, one of the most stable and high-performance international routes. China Mobile uses the CMIN2 network, also ensuring strong connectivity.
- Strong Hardware Performance: Despite being a basic plan, Geekbench 5 single-core scores reach 942, significantly outperforming similar-tier VPS products. Disk read/write speed reaches 5.09 GB/s, making it suitable for high I/O workloads.
- Excellent Streaming Unlocking: The IP is a residential native IP, fully unlocking Netflix, Disney+, YouTube, Spotify, and ChatGPT, making it ideal for streaming and AI applications.
2. Network Performance Analysis
The biggest advantage of this VPS lies in its bidirectional optimized routing, especially the return path.
1. Nationwide Latency Overview
Testing results show balanced and strong latency performance across China:
- China Unicom: Average 162ms, as low as 135ms in Tianjin.
- China Mobile: Average 159ms, as low as 131ms in Beijing.
- China Telecom: Average 237ms, as low as 209ms in Yangzhou, Jiangsu.
2. Three-Network Routing Details (Inbound & Outbound)
Using traceroute and network diagnostics, we analyzed the full routing paths between China and the UK.
| ISP | Outbound Route (China → UK) | Return Route (UK → China) |
| China Telecom | Routing is not fixed and may detour via US-based carriers such as GTT, resulting in more hops and higher latency. | Returns via Unicom 9929 (AS9929). Traffic leaves the UK, passes through Unicom’s Germany nodes, then directly connects to Shanghai and Guangzhou 9929 nodes before entering Telecom networks, ensuring stable and fast return performance. |
| China Unicom | Primarily uses Unicom AS4837 backbone, exiting via Germany or London international nodes. Outbound routing quality is excellent. | Direct return via Unicom 9929 (AS9929). This premium backbone route connects the UK through Germany and UK Unicom nodes, then directly to Beijing or Shanghai with extremely high speed. |
| China Mobile | Uses China Mobile backbone (CMIN2), routing via Frankfurt before reaching the UK. Outbound path is stable and low-latency. | Returns via CMIN2 backbone. Traffic flows from the UK through Frankfurt Mobile nodes back to Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou, maintaining stable latency overall. |
In summary, although Telecom outbound routing is not ideal, the 9929 return path significantly compensates for it. Unicom users benefit from full bidirectional 9929 routing, while Mobile users enjoy stable CMIN2 connectivity.
