DMIT has recently reopened sales of its Hong Kong HKG.EB VPS lineup. The EB (Enhanced Backbone) series has long been known for its optimized network routing and is designed for users who require low latency, strong international connectivity, and reliable cross-border network performance.
The current Hong Kong HKG.EB lineup consists of the AS3 series powered by AMD EPYC 7003 processors and the AN5 series powered by AMD EPYC 9005 processors. The test server used in this review shares the same specifications as the HKG.AS3.EB.TINY plan, but the actual CPU is an AMD EPYC 9655P, making its hardware performance closer to the AN5 series. Since the network architecture is identical across the HKG.EB lineup, the network test results in this review can be used as a reference for the entire series.

DMIT Hong Kong HKG.EB VPS Hardware Performance Test
The test server is powered by an AMD EPYC 9655P processor running at 2.60GHz, one of the high-end models in AMD’s EPYC 9005 series.
Key benchmark results:
| Item | Result |
|---|---|
| CPU | AMD EPYC 9655P |
| CPU Frequency | 2.60GHz |
| Physical Memory | 960MB |
| Swap Memory | 1023MB |
| SSD Capacity | 19.6GB |
| SSD Performance | Approximately 1.1GB/s |
Overall, both CPU and storage performance are excellent. The AS3 series already provides more than enough resources for web hosting, cross-border applications, proxy services, data processing, and container workloads, while the AN5 series delivers significantly stronger computing power for more demanding workloads.
DMIT Hong Kong HKG.EB VPS Network Speed Test
Mainland China Speed Test
Based on single-thread speed test results from Mainland China:
- Upload speeds exceeded 120Mbps on most test locations.
- Several locations achieved upload speeds above 500Mbps.
- Download speeds generally reached around 600Mbps.
International Speed Test
Performance across overseas locations, particularly within the Asia-Pacific region, was even more impressive:
- Upload speeds were close to the full 1Gbps port capacity.
- Download speeds were also close to 1Gbps.
- International bandwidth resources appeared plentiful.
For a Hong Kong VPS with optimized routing, delivering near wire-speed international bandwidth is relatively uncommon.
DMIT Hong Kong HKG.EB VPS Latency Test
Latency test results showed:
- Average latency from Mainland China was approximately 57ms.
For a Hong Kong-based server, this can be considered a moderate result. Some premium Hong Kong optimized routes are capable of achieving around 40ms latency, so actual latency here is slightly higher than some top-tier optimized providers.
DMIT Hong Kong HKG.EB VPS Routing Analysis
China Telecom
Inbound Route
China Telecom users were routed through:
- China Telecom CN2 (AS59.43)
- Direct connection to Hong Kong
Outbound Route
The return path used:
- China Telecom AS4134
- Direct return via the 163 Backbone Network
Overall routing pattern:
CN2 Inbound + China Telecom 163 Outbound
China Unicom
Inbound Route
China Unicom traffic was observed taking a detour through Japan:
Mainland China → Japan → Hong Kong
As a result, China Unicom users experienced slightly higher latency compared to Telecom and Mobile users.
Outbound Route
The return route utilized:
- China Mobile CMI
- AS9808
Traffic returned directly to Mainland China.
China Mobile
Inbound Route
China Mobile used a direct CMI route into Hong Kong.
Outbound Route
China Mobile CMI was also used for the return path back to Mainland China.
Overall routing pattern:
CMI Direct Routing in Both Directions
Network Quality Test
Network quality diagnostics produced the following results:
IPv4
- Low latency for China Telecom users.
- Low latency for China Mobile users.
- Slightly higher latency for China Unicom users.
- China Telecom return traffic used the 163 backbone.
- China Unicom and China Mobile return traffic primarily used CMI.
IPv6
IPv6 routing showed noticeably higher latency across all three carriers, indicating longer routing paths. Aside from that, overall behavior was similar to IPv4.
Peak Hour Packet Loss Test
Inbound Packet Loss
Testing during peak hours showed:
- Minor packet loss on some US East Coast locations.
- Virtually no packet loss across most Asia-Pacific locations.
- Light packet loss on a small number of domestic nodes.
- Overall network stability remained good.
Outbound Packet Loss
Peak-hour return traffic performance was as follows:
IPv4 Small Packets
- China Telecom experienced virtually no packet loss.
- China Mobile experienced virtually no packet loss.
- Some China Unicom locations showed approximately 8% packet loss.
IPv4 Large Packets
- China Telecom remained largely loss-free.
- China Unicom experienced around 30% packet loss.
- China Mobile showed packet loss ranging from 30% to 80% on some locations.
IPv6
- China Telecom and China Unicom experienced around 40% packet loss on certain locations.
- China Mobile delivered comparatively better performance.
Overall, inbound routing remained stable, while outbound packet loss during peak hours was relatively high.
Streaming Unlock Test
Test results showed:
Supported Streaming Services
Successfully unlocked:
- Hong Kong Netflix
- Hong Kong Disney+
- Several Hong Kong regional streaming platforms
TikTok region detection:
- Singapore
Actual streaming availability may vary depending on the assigned IP range and provisioning date.
Native IP & IP Reputation Test
Multiple IP databases reported the following results:
IP Classification
- Native Hong Kong IP
- Datacenter (IDC) IP
- Non-residential IP
Risk Assessment
- Most databases classified the IP as low risk.
- Overall IP reputation was good.
Ping0 Detection
Ping0 testing also identified the IP as:
- IDC datacenter broadcast IP
- Neutral reputation rating
Therefore, this VPS uses a standard datacenter IP rather than a residential or dual-ISP residential IP.
YouTube Streaming Performance Test
The YouTube benchmark achieved a score of over 220,000+.
In real-world usage:
- 4K videos played smoothly.
- No noticeable buffering occurred.
- Video loading speeds were consistently fast.
Combined with the routing analysis:
- China Telecom users are likely to enjoy the best overall experience.
- China Mobile users should also experience excellent performance.
- China Unicom users may see slightly higher latency and lower speeds due to the Japan detour.
DMIT Hong Kong HKG.EB VPS Review Summary
DMIT’s Hong Kong HKG.EB VPS delivers excellent hardware performance. The test server was powered by an AMD EPYC 9655P processor, while SSD performance reached approximately 1.1GB/s, placing both compute and storage performance firmly in the high-end category.
From a networking perspective:
- China Telecom inbound traffic uses CN2 direct routing to Hong Kong.
- China Telecom outbound traffic returns via the 163 backbone.
- China Unicom inbound traffic is routed through Japan.
- China Unicom outbound traffic returns through CMI.
- China Mobile uses direct CMI routing in both directions.
At its current stage, overall network quality still trails DMIT’s US Premium and Japan Premium product lines. According to DMIT, the Hong Kong EB series remains under active testing and optimization, and routing policies may continue to evolve.
For workloads such as:
- High-performance computing
- Enterprise application hosting
- Cross-border business services
- Video transcoding
- Data processing
- Native Hong Kong IP requirements
