I am not bothered about I/O speeds, since it is a HDD and also a server that is used for remote backups. Connectivity was the main point. I switched the setting to the 1Gbps with 4TB limit instead of the unlimited 100mbps. The above speeds clearly indicate a good network. The uptime of the server (service provisioned since Jan 10) is at 100%.
This is my third server with Servarica. The newer 2TB servers are more responsive than a 1.5TB server I have from 2 years ago. I attribute it to newer hardware. As a backup server, I would recommend them. Do any of you have experience with this provider? Comments welcome

An excellent review! Thanks to your advice, I'm giving Servarica a try for backups.
