- Latency: 162ns
NVMe performance:
- 4K random read: 125MB/s
- 4K random write: 98MB/s
- Sequential read: 5206MB/s
- Sequential write: 3330MB/s
👉 Storage is stable enterprise NVMe with no major bottlenecks.
3. Overall Score
- HQ Score: 34113
- Ranking: Top ~8.4%
👉 Overall hardware is upper-mid tier with strong performance potential.
3. IP Quality Analysis

4. Latency Test (Ping)
Average latency in China
- Overall: ~260ms
- China Unicom: 234ms (best)
- China Telecom: 260ms
- China Mobile: 275ms
👉 Standard North America latency without optimization routes.
Global latency
- North America: 65–72ms (excellent)
- Europe: 77–87ms (excellent)
- Asia: 160–240ms
- South America: 140–180ms
- Oceania: 191ms
👉 Balanced global performance, strong in North America.
5. Outbound Routing
China Telecom
- China Telecom → AS4134
- Via Cogent (AS174)
- To Montreal
👉 Standard Cogent international routing, no CN2 optimization.
China Unicom
- AS4837 → Guangzhou exit
- Via GTT (AS3257)
- To Montreal
👉 Stable but non-optimized international path.
China Mobile (worse)
- CMI (AS9808)
- Via UK/US Cogent
- Then to Canada
👉 Heavily detoured path with higher jitter.
6. Return Routing
China Telecom
- Cogent → AS174 → AS4134
- Canada → UK → Netherlands → China
👉 Clearly detoured, no direct return path.
China Unicom
- Cogent → AS4837
- Via US/HK transit back to China
👉 Slightly better than Telecom but still non-optimized.
China Mobile
- Cogent → CMI → China backbone
👉 Reasonable structure but still high latency.
7. Network Summary
Pros
✔ High-performance EPYC 7763 CPU
✔ Strong NVMe storage performance
✔ Clean IP with good unblock capability
✔ Excellent North America / Europe connectivity
✔ 2Gbps unlimited bandwidth
Cons
✘ No China-optimized routes (no CN2/CMIN2)
✘ High latency from China (240–280ms)
✘ Poor Mobile routing stability
✘ Single vCPU limits CPU potential
8. Recommended Use Cases
✔ Overseas business hosting (EU/NA users)
✔ TikTok / streaming / unblocking
✔ API / AI / SaaS services
✔ Cross-border e-commerce backend

9. Conclusion
PetroSky Montreal Mini VPS is a typical:
“High-performance hardware + standard international routing + clean IP” North American VPS
Its strength lies in hardware and global connectivity rather than China-optimized performance.
If your users are in North America or Europe, it offers strong value.
If targeting mainland China, it is better suited as a relay or backend node rather than a primary low-latency server.
