Super slow network speeds on some pods.

Some pods have really really slow network speeds and take an absolute age to install requirements initially, and then uploading / downloading files. §5 - 20 mbs takes around 10 minutes? How does one determine which of these pods has slow networks? As they are really a waste of time and money. I have to try one pod at a time to find one that is fast. This is not great.

what kind of pod are you using? Try reporting them on web support, they might be able to help

Same here. I use A6000 in US and 4090 in IS and both are insanely slow.

Not saying that pods are not slow / sometimes need to cycle a bit - but sometimes I also just try a bunch of different download sources to see how things go: https://discord.com/channels/912829806415085598/1207175605255147571 Have a small script i wrote to just run and sanity check how other downstream source speeds are by testing downloading large files But definitely (https://discord.com/channels/912829806415085598/1238774340640837672/1239159401982726155) as seen here, some pods did have speed issues it seems recently

Both my pods were secure cloud. Now working well again.
