Where are these located? I'm wondering how bad latency from the U.S. would be...

Looks like you get "Western Europe Datacenter (GRA)". And it ends up being $13.74 USD for 3 months.

Roubaix (North of France). Try pinging productism.com and report the ping from where you are?

Data center list: http://www.ovh.co.uk/dedicated_servers/data_centre_selection...

112ms from Michigan, USA.

Sounds high. Should be closer to 60-70ms from the East Coast.

From Metro Boston: round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 100.297/104.900/110.846/3.406 ms

From New York on a major corporate network: round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 75.940/79.012/81.289/1.950 ms

That's similar to the ping times to my current VPS on the West Coast.

Well, Michigan isn't exactly "east coast".

From NY on FiOS: ~80ms ping

Not bad. 50ms from me (south England), only 5ms slower than pinging my servers located in the midlands.

Sounds a bit high as well. I'm pinging London-based servers from my OVH servers in less than 25ms

May vary based on last-mile stuff. I'm getting 55ms to you from my residential DSL in Copenhagen, but I get 20ms if I ping from a university server, also in Copenhagen.

Surprisingly constant 148ms from a VPS on the west-coast US.

From a server in the midlands I'm getting a consistent 8.3ms

130ms from the mid-Atlantic US

You can also use http://proof.ovh.net/ but the GRA datacenter, where these servers are located, does not have a speed/ping test available yet.

Are you sure they are located in the newly opened GRA data center? If so, my bad.

These are all in GRA. I get 10ms from London.

Columbus, Ohio

In France, near Paris. Ping strims.pl to get an idea.

Actually, they're located in Graveline, France, which is about 100mi from London, near Calais.
