1. VMRack Products & Network Routing Overview
At the moment, VMRack only offers US-based datacenter locations. Based on routing type, its services are mainly divided into three categories:
- Premium optimized routes: CN2 GIA / AS9929 / CMIN2
- Standard optimized routes: 163 / 10099 / CMI
- International routes (reviewed in this article): Cogent / Arelion (Native IP + International Transit)
The test instance in this review belongs to the third category — an entry-level international route package focused on low pricing and US native IP addresses. Although it does not guarantee China-optimized routing, real-world testing still delivered respectable performance.
Note: All three routing categories also offer unlimited traffic plans, and custom configurations are available here:

3. Hardware Performance Analysis
The test instance used the entry-level configuration (1C1G):
- CPU: AMD EPYC (~2.6GHz frequency)
- Memory: ~1GB
- Storage: 20GB NVMe
- Disk Speed: ~339MB/s
- Virtualization: KVM
Summary:
- CPU performance is solid for lightweight workloads

4. Network Speed & Bandwidth Performance
- Download speeds within China generally exceeded 500Mbps
- China Telecom peak speeds approached 2Gbps
- Upload speeds remained stable above 500Mbps
- International traffic could easily saturate gigabit speeds
Conclusion:
The 5Gbps bandwidth allocation clearly provides strong throughput capabilities, even on international routes.
5. Latency & China Routing Analysis
- Average latency from mainland China: ~165ms
- Better than many standard US West Coast routes
China ISP Routing Performance:
- China Telecom
- Outbound: Direct US West Coast routing
- Inbound: Direct routing
- 👉 Lowest latency and best user experience
- China Unicom
- Outbound: AS4837
- Inbound: Partial direct routing
- 👉 Slightly higher latency
- China Mobile
- Outbound/Inbound: CMI direct routing
- 👉 Stable overall, but outbound latency slightly higher
Summary:
👉 All three major Chinese ISPs generally achieved direct return routing, with China Telecom offering the best experience.
6. Stability & Packet Loss Testing
