The majority of my servers are with OVH though, they're not known for quality support but their prices are pretty low and do have a good control panel. However I guess it's best to find a server that suits your needs.
They're huge from what I've seen about them, but as you say, support is a bit of an issue there, as well as strong opinions about oversold bandwidth.
They generally work through things blundering on one thing to the next and I'm not sure how they made it this far. At times they cause more trouble than they're worth but when it's all good, it's brilliant.
They're bandwidth can also be pretty hit or miss outside of Europe (and random spots within Europe and even France too). They disregard it with little interest but that's a bit insane considering the Internet is an international phenomenon. Oh, and not to mention peers can get 5kb/s to one server but then their full connection (700kb/s+) speed to another server in the same datacentre (again, met with little interest).
That said, I have been told (explicitly in an incident ticket by staff) that the monitoring on the 10Gbps servers do not yet work with their routers. As a result they have no way to track the bandwidth usage and impose their 40TB usage on them.
10Gbps for 300/month!
That's hilarious, if they actually can deliver.
I might go and try that for a bit :)
My current total commit is 6 Gbps, and I'm paying substantially more than that.
The only problem is that they will wise up eventually and fix the issue (especially when you've just walked away with 500TB!) so it is quite a gamble.
If you do ever get a HG-10G Large from them and get bored of it, I will gladly take it off your hands. (Possibly throwing in something to help with the set up fee depending on how much I need it).
1 Gbit/s (one Gbit/s) flat will set you back at least around 5000 EUR/month. 1 Gbps (that would be eight Gbit/s) for 300? Yeah. Right.
Regardless I still don't see the point of highlighting a loophole that is obviously going away in the short term.
Au contraire the existence of this flaw should a be strong indicator against using said ISP. Do you really want to trust your stuff to them if they can't even get their own billing straight?
