Heres a thread where people can review seedboxes services so people do not ripped off.
1. Santrex
Review: I signed up because they were one of the cheapest providers with unlimited bandwidth. Well i soon learned that unlimited bandwidth does not help you if the box cannot top 700 kbps up and 3 mb/s down. In reality this box is more like having a 2nd home connection or just a leechbox.
Recommended: Hell no, stay far away, they also have the worst customer service ever, where they just ignore you when you are in their irc channel.

Being cheap I used : wewillhostit & myseedbox (both are torrentflux URL /FTP access if you ask)
Review :Wewillhostit : Signed up and I had many problems. Very slow and some of my big files cut off half way during downloading (most of them actually did finish) but upload sucks capped at around 200kb/s and left over night usually found them "dead" by morning not seeding 1:1.
Myseedbox : Much better, but now even they are starting to load too many users onto one server. Also, many users have access to other peoples folders using FTP and I found people using my folder while I went on vacation. Of course I deleted their shit but I was pissed off. Great download speed/upload when I first joined but now it has started to slow down around dl:600kb/s u/l 400kb/s and usually connections never drop unless they reset their server.
Recommend : wewillhostit : NO unless you want to leech and never seed back then go for it but dont expect this to save your ratio on high lvl trackers.
Recommend : myseedbox : Yes, while I might hate people having access to my files no one has deleted any of my files.(Besides the vacation trip incident) I guess its an honor system but if you dont want people knowing what you share I'd suggest maybe getting a personal server from them. Speeds good and it did help me keep/get a good ratio on many high level trackers. Great for quickly fixing a ratio.

Seedboxhosting.com
Seedboxhosting gives you an actually good seedbox for not that much. For 37$ a month, you get your own torrentflux seedbox with unmetered bandwidth and 50gb hard drive space. I get very good speeds most of the time, 6mb/s download 2mb/s upload.
Recommend- Hell YES, they are easy, quick and cheap. My box was up in an hour, and the support team is friendly and helpfull 9/10

Seedboxes I use currently:
OVH - Kimsufi L from the France site (19.99 / EUR month)
Celeron L
1GB RAM
250GB HDD
100Mbit Standard SLA - Unmetered , but transit isn't always gauranteed.
Server.Lu DS2000
4400+
2GB RAM
320GB HDD
100Mbit Unmetered
42 EUR/month after first month
Both are excellent values and I'd recommend them highly! Now that most of my accounts are buffered, I'll probably cut back to one box in a few months.

They are cheap the first plan is $10/month with 10GB storage, 5 active torrent 100mbit connection max shared with 2 users. DL hit up to 10-12m/sec and Up hit up to 4-6mb/sec (depend on how many leecher)
7.5/10
Biohost: stay away from them. Bad customer service, connection shared by many users dunno how many but sure its slow. small storage.

i know about biohost cos i used them before. About pro seedbox, that is really cheap, but which trackers does it likely happen about the speeds that you pointed out. And are the speeds sustain at that speed for a time. Is it Utorrent webui? And is it VPS?
