If you are getting poor speeds using wget and just overall throughput on the new server and the network settings are all correct on the switch, it may be necessary to tune your sysctl tcp window scaling options. We found that the following settings work well when added to /etc/sysctl.conf file.
Code:
net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling=1 net.core.rmem_max=104857600 net.core.wmem_max=104857600 net.core.rmem_default=65536 net.core.wmem_default=65536 net.ipv4.tcp_rmem=4096 524288 104857600 net.ipv4.tcp_wmem=4096 524288 104857600 net.ipv4.tcp_mem=8388608 8388608 8388608 net.core.netdev_max_backlog=30000 net.ipv4.tcp_no_metrics_save=1 net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps=0 net.ipv4.tcp_sack=0 net.ipv4.route.flush=1
The above tuned various things -- the most important is enabling TCP window scaling, the next 4 values bump the TX/RX buffer sizes up, the last ones are various changes to cut down on CPU usage per-packet.

I have had my hosting with AYK since 2006, and it has by far been the best experience I have ever had with any hosting company. The support is always spot on and available around the clock, excellent for me since I'm always working on things at odd hours. They make upgrading to fit needs very clean and easy, the cost is excellent for services received, and they have me as a customer for life.
I have been with ayksolutions for around 5 years and have been thoroughly impressed with them. All support tickets are answered within minutes, regardless of the time of day. Prices are very reasonable, especially considering the support and services they provide. They are constantly doing crazy deals for servers as well. If you're looking for someone good and reliable to host with, from shared hosting to dedicated servers, I easily recommend ayksolutions.
