I've just signed up for one of these instances - here are some speed tests/stats/details, if anyone's interested: https://gist.github.com/JosephRedfern/57c81ac95bf4f1175e3e If you'd like anything in particular running, let me know and I shall oblige when I can!

Is it possible to physically buy these servers? All the info indicates that you can just get instances, just like the rest of the server farms.

You're right - rephrased :)

But what about bandwidth? That's still shared among all the users, right? And given that they are even advertising 'Seedboxes' and VPN servers [0] hosted in the same network, it makes me doubt the quality of network even more. [0] https://blog.scaleway.com/2015/09/02/we-are-slashing-the-c1-...

They have another product mini dedicated for 6 euro/mo[0]. Which I've been using recently and the network performance has been pretty consistent. They are however seem marketed more for personal usage though.

bonnie++ would be great

BW on these is shared a rack level, depending on which rack you're put in your speeds can vary a lot

Nitpicking the submission title ("ARM7 dedicated servers for 3.40 per month"): ARM7 is actually very old ARM cores running ARMv4; these servers are ARMv7.

Fixed this up, sorry, don't have a lot of knowledge about ARM architecture.

Tangential rant: What is wrong with CPU manufacturers in particular?

What do they gain from giving everything the most confusing names possible?

Sockets LGA1155, LGA1150, LGA1151. CPUs only differentiated by a jumble of digits anymore.

Something is seriously wrong with your product naming strategy when it needs to be clarified that ARM7 != ARMv7.
