[Hong Kong residential broadband] Boil HKT 1000Mbps dedicated IPv4 detailed test

Testing the HKT I got from the National Day mystery box (not the legendary gaming route). It is currently one of my main exit nodes

1. Configuration

HKT 1000M from Boil may have less actual bandwidth than that; mine is 912Mbps

2. NodeQuality

💻 Basic Information

It comes with 4C4G + 9GB disk; acceptable

8. Summary

Unlocking is good, but the old problem remains: Hong Kong cannot unlock AI services, so traffic must be routed to other regions. Based on testing, this dedicated-IPv4 HKT is sort of half a route VPS, though the route may not be stable;Side note: I do not recommend using residential NAT machines directly; too many people are abusing them...

9. About The Tests

All machines used in this article (including all machines participating in iPerf3 tests) were purchased at my own expense; TCP tuning was limited to enabling BBR+FQ, with all other parameters left at defaults; results may be time-sensitive
