I cancelled all my OVH servers, on the high end they are a ripoff and their internal network went to crap recently, it was faster to move files to another country than between 2 HG XXXL servers, go figure

I am currently testing the waters on offering 24 and 36 drive storage monsters https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6576796

any feedback is appreciated

I agree with you. Their internal network is crap. And recently, their external network has been horrible as well.

We have 40 servers with them and we're getting out of there. Been getting downtime almost weekly for the last couple of months.

Their prices are impossible to beat in America however. Even heavily discounted, SoftLayer is more than twice the price.

I used to not like them years ago when I had a lot of servers, moved away, went back and we are very happy now. We are not experiencing the downtime / slowness you are referencing. And the competition quite expensive compared. I mean; I don't have to get the cheapest stuff possible, but Softlayer etc is really not economical for our business even if OVH would have some downtime.
