Flawless Node has recently upgraded the network architecture of its Compute VPS product line in the Los Angeles LAX1 datacenter. The core change in this upgrade is that the entire Compute Plus VPS lineup now comes with 1Gbps bandwidth (previously 200Mbps), while the 1TB outbound traffic plan still starts at just $10/month — more resources at the same price. At the same time, all instances are now standardized on AMD EPYC 7003 series CPUs.
According to the provider, this upgrade mainly focuses on improvements to network infrastructure and datacenter capabilities rather than simply increasing hardware specifications.
