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.

AYK Solutions has been the server for my website for 8 or 9 years, and in all that time I have gotten nothing but expeditious, professional, friendly, and excellent service from them. I am being honest about this. They have my highest recommendations.
Even though I only have a shared hosting plan, their technical support team responded to my tech support request within the hour, and correctly to boot. (I needed to have a subdomain point to a Tumblr blog by changing the CNAME.)
I had never heard of AYK Solutions before, but they had an awesome deal I couldn't pass up on WHT. So far the service has been exceptional, and the server is rock solid. I'll be moving my other servers here soon!
