GoodlyClouds recently launched its Hong Kong CMI high-bandwidth VPS series, featuring Hong Kong native IPs and China Mobile CMI routing. The official page only briefly mentions “Hong Kong CMI” without much detail, and a 30% discount is currently available for new users. GoodlyClouds also supports Alipay payments and offers a 24-hour refund guarantee, making the purchasing process very user-friendly.
This article is based on the entry-level test plan and provides a full evaluation of hardware performance, network quality, return routing, streaming media unlocking capability, and hosting performance. It is intended for users who need Hong Kong native IPs, low-latency connectivity to China, video acceleration, or proxy relay usage scenarios.
Test Plan Configuration
- 1 vCPU
- 1GB RAM
- 15GB SSD storage
- 1TB monthly traffic
- 200Mbps bandwidth
- 1 IPv4 address
- Original price: 60 CNY/month or 720 CNY/year (30% discount code: FL9FXuOI9)

1. Hardware Performance Test
The test shows that this GoodlyClouds Hong Kong CMI VPS uses an Intel Xeon E5-2697A v4 processor (2.60GHz single core). Performance is solid among similar-priced Hong Kong VPS offerings.
- Memory: ~991MB usable, no default swap
- Disk performance: ~503MB/s average read/write
- Virtualization: KVM
Overall, the hardware is sufficient for lightweight websites, API services, small proxy nodes, or relay tasks.
2. Global Network Speed Test
The 200Mbps bandwidth is relatively large for a Hong Kong VPS, and the test results show near full utilization:
Download Speed
- Mainland China nodes: near full speed
- Overseas nodes: close to full line speed
Upload Performance
- Mainland / Hong Kong / Taiwan: 180Mbps+
- Europe / US nodes: around 150Mbps
- Asia-Pacific nodes: even faster
The bandwidth stability is strong and suitable for file distribution, media streaming, and relay services.
3. Latency & Three-Network Routing Analysis
Average latency in mainland China is around 89ms. While not a typical premium direct-connect latency, the overall experience is still good considering the bandwidth and CMI routing structure.
1. China Telecom
- Outbound: routes via Japan to Hong Kong
- Return: direct CMI path back to mainland China
2. China Unicom
- Outbound: via Japan through NTT to Hong Kong
- Return: direct CMI routing
3. China Mobile
- Outbound: direct CMI to Hong Kong
- Return: direct CMI routing
Summary: all three networks use China Mobile CMI for return routing. Mobile users get the best experience, while Telecom and Unicom benefit from stable CMI return paths ensuring smooth video playback and downloads.
4. Network Quality Check
Even without BBR optimization, the VPS shows strong performance in:
- Bandwidth stability
- Network connectivity
- CMI return routing efficiency
CMI-based return routing is the key highlight of this plan.
5. Native IP & Streaming Unlock Capability
IP analysis shows:
- Hong Kong native datacenter IP (not residential ISP)
- ipinfo.io classifies it as “hosting”
- High cleanliness score across multiple IP reputation databases
- ping0.cc shows high native quality but slightly mixed purity scores (depends on data source)
Streaming Unlock Results
- ✔ Hong Kong Disney+ unlocked
- ✔ Hong Kong Netflix unlocked
- ✔ Most Hong Kong region streaming services supported
- ✔ TikTok region unlock may vary due to CDN policy behavior
6. YouTube Streaming Speed Test
On China Mobile network conditions:
- Peak speed exceeds 190,000+
- 4K playback is smooth
- Very fast buffering time
This result is achieved through the combination of CMI return routing + Hong Kong native IP + 200Mbps bandwidth.
7. Hosting Environment Experience
After installing a control panel (LNMP stack):
- Remaining memory: ~500MB
- Remaining disk: ~9GB
Suitable for small-to-medium websites, blogs, and API services. It provides good accessibility for users in mainland China and Southeast Asia.
8. Final Summary
Advantages
- ✔ Hong Kong native IP with strong unlock capability
- ✔ Three-network CMI return routing
- ✔ Excellent experience for China Mobile users
- ✔ Stable 200Mbps bandwidth
- ✔ Excellent video streaming performance
- ✔ Suitable for hosting and relay scenarios
- ✔ Clean IP suitable for cross-border business

FAQ (Q&A)
1. Is this a real Hong Kong native IP?
Yes. The tested IP is identified by multiple databases as a Hong Kong native datacenter IP and supports major Hong Kong streaming services.
2. Is the return routing fully CMI?
Yes. All three networks (Telecom, Unicom, Mobile) use China Mobile CMI direct return routing.
3. Is 89ms latency normal?
Yes. For CMI-based routing, 89ms is normal. Pure direct Hong Kong routes may reach 30–50ms, but CMI focuses more on stability and bandwidth capacity.
4. Is it suitable for hosting websites?
Yes. After installing a control panel, sufficient resources remain, and CMI return routing ensures stable access from mainland China.
5. Why does YouTube reach 190,000+ speed?
Because of CMI return routing, 200Mbps bandwidth, and better CDN allocation enabled by Hong Kong native IP routing behavior.
