1. Introduction

The BandwagonHost E-Commerce VPS series is designed primarily for cross-border business and international connectivity optimization. Its core advantages include flexible datacenter migration, CN2 GIA/optimized routing, and strong global network interconnection quality.

The VPS tested in this review is:

VPS – Self-managed – SPECIAL 20G KVM PROMO V5 – CN2 GIA ECOMMERCE
Datacenter: US: New York (Coresite NY1) [USNY_6]

This node is positioned as an “East Coast New York CN2-optimized route” VPS, theoretically offering:

• Optimized return routes to China (CN2 / HE / Cogent / Arelion hybrid routing)
• Accessibility for all three major Chinese ISPs (China Telecom / China Unicom / China Mobile)
• Strong global connectivity with low latency to Europe and North America

However, actual performance must be verified through real-world routing and latency tests.

The following 15 datacenters are available for the BandwagonHost E-Commerce VPS series and can be switched freely:

US: Los Angeles, California (DC6 CT CN2GIA-E, CMIN2, CUP) [USCA_6] (current)
US: Los Angeles, California (DC9 AMD+NVMe, CT CN2GIA, CMIN2, CUP) [USCA_9]
US: Los Angeles, California (DC8 ZNET) [USCA_8]
US: Los Angeles, California (DC2 AO) [USCA_2]
US: San Jose, California (CT CN2GIA-E, CMIN2, CUP) [USCA_SJC5]
US: Fremont, California [USCA_FMT]
US: New Jersey [USNJ]
US: New York (Coresite NY1) [USNY_6] (Tested in this review)
US: New York (Coresite NY1 CN2GIA-E, CMIN2, CUP) [USNY_8]
CA: British Columbia, Vancouver (AMD-F+NVMe) [CABC_1]
CA: British Columbia, Vancouver (AMD-F+NVMe, CN2GIA-E, CMIN2, CUP) [CABC_6]
EU: Amsterdam, Netherlands DC2 (AMD) [EUNL_2]
EU: Amsterdam, Netherlands DC9 (China Unicom Premium) [EUNL_9]

2. VPS Specifications

The E-Commerce series uses CN2 GIA-E optimized routing, balancing performance and pricing. Additional plans:

3. IP and Basic Information Analysis

1. IPv4 Information

• IP: 104.244.**.**
• ASN: AS25820 (IT7 Networks Inc)
• Location: New York (some databases identify it as an “IDC/Broadcast IP”)
• Risk Score: Low (fluctuating between 3/100 and 34%)
• Type: IDC Datacenter IP (non-residential IP)

⚠️ Note: Multiple databases classify this IP as a datacenter/broadcast IP, and some tools even flag it as “possible VPN/proxy usage.” However, the overall risk rating remains low.

2. Streaming Unlock Status

👉 Conclusion: Streaming support is generally excellent, although TikTok compatibility can fluctuate.

4. China Latency Performance

Average Latency by ISP

Regional Performance

📌 Conclusion:

• Hong Kong and Taiwan show the lowest latency (~180–210ms)
• Mainland China remains stable around 230–260ms
• Overall performance is typical for an “East Coast US CN2-optimized VPS”

5. Global Latency Performance

📌 Conclusion:
Europe and North America perform excellently, while Asia-Pacific performance is moderate but acceptable.

6. Packet Loss Test (ping.pe)

Overall results:

• China routes: mostly 0%–10% fluctuation
• Europe and North America: 0% packet loss
• South America and Africa: minor fluctuations
• Morocco and Bangladesh: occasional jitter (<6%)

📌 Conclusion:
Overall network stability is good with no severe packet loss issues.

7. Forward Routing Analysis (Important)

1. China Telecom Forward Route

Routing structure:

China Telecom AS4134
→ 202.97 Backbone
→ HE.net (AS6939)
→ Los Angeles / New York Transit
→ IT7 Networks (AS25820)
→ Destination IP

Characteristics:

• Traffic exits through HE.net (not pure CN2 direct routing)
• Multiple US domestic hops (SJC → NYC)
• Latency concentrated around 160–230ms

👉 Conclusion: China Telecom uses an HE transit optimized route rather than full CN2 GIA direct routing.

2. China Unicom Forward Route

Path:

AS4837 Unicom Backbone
→ HE.net
→ NYC Core Node
→ IT7

Characteristics:

• Uses mixed Arelion / HE routing
• Beijing routes are relatively stable
• Some hops show packet loss

👉 Conclusion: China Unicom stability is slightly better than China Telecom in some scenarios.

3. China Mobile Forward Route

Path:

CMI (AS58453)
→ HE
→ Los Angeles / Seattle
→ New York

Characteristics:

• Typical CMI international routing
• Significant detours within the US
• Higher latency (~240ms+)

👉 Conclusion: China Mobile performs the weakest among the three ISPs, but remains usable.

8. Return Route Analysis (Important)

1. China Telecom Return Route

HE.net → Cogent → China Telecom 163 Backbone → China Telecom China

Characteristics:

• Mainly routed through Cogent / HE transit
• Not full CN2 GIA return routing
• Stable overall routing quality

2. China Unicom Return Route

Arelion → AS4837 → Beijing China Unicom

Characteristics:

• Uses premium Arelion international routing
• Enters China through the Unicom backbone
• Latency around 220–250ms

3. China Mobile Return Route

Vultr / CMI → CMNET → China Mobile

Characteristics:

• Multiple transit points through Hong Kong and the US
• Noticeable jitter fluctuations
• Highest latency exceeds 260ms+

9. IPv6 Routing Analysis

IPv6 Routing Path:

• AS25820 → AS174 (Cogent)
• AS1299 (Arelion)
• AS4837 / AS9808 / AS4134

Characteristics:

• IPv6 routing is more indirect than IPv4
• Some routes use dual-layer Cogent + Arelion transit
• Latency can be slightly lower, but stability is weaker

10. Overall Evaluation

Advantages

• Stable global routing performance
• Excellent Europe and North America latency
• No significant packet loss
• Strong streaming unlock support
• Multiple datacenters available for migration

Disadvantages

• China routing is not pure CN2 GIA direct connectivity
• China Mobile performance is relatively weak
• IP is an IDC broadcast IP rather than a residential IP
• IPv6 routing is somewhat complicated

11. Recommended Use Cases

Suitable for:

• Cross-border e-commerce websites
• Overseas business deployment
• API service nodes
• TikTok and streaming support environments
• Global CDN relay nodes

Not suitable for:

• Ultra-low latency gaming
• Users requiring full CN2 GIA routing
• Residential IP risk-control scenarios

12. Q&A

Q1: Is this a pure CN2 GIA route?

No. The actual routing is a hybrid of HE + Cogent + Arelion optimized routes rather than full CN2 direct connectivity.

Q2: How is the China access speed?

Average latency is around 230–260ms. Stable overall, but not ultra-low latency.

Q3: Is it suitable for TikTok?

Usable, but not perfectly stable. The IP is an IDC-type IP and may face some platform risk-control fluctuations.

Q4: Why does the IP show New York while routes appear multi-regional?

Because IT7 Networks operates across multiple datacenter locations, IP database geolocation can vary between providers.

Q5: Is packet loss severe?

No. Most regions experience 0% packet loss or very close to 0%.

Q6: How does it compare to Los Angeles CN2 GIA?

• Los Angeles: Lower latency (150–180ms)
• New York: Better global stability and international reach
