Halifax? Assholes.
Edit: Lloyds, same thing pretty much. I got stung by the same shit for a Usenet subscription. Ended up paying more in fees than I did for the subscription.
@Jack
Get one of those paypal debit cards. beats bank charges then
that's how I got around it
I just called OVH and they don't know what's going on either... They're gonna investigate and they're gonna call me back once they know what's wrong
Finally validated! Woo!
... And there are no N2800's left
Are they available in the UK?
They got them available in France now
In stock right now and this is the GRA one! Go grab it before it is gone!
And....they are gone again....
gone
Signed in, final page of order form... and ERROR 500!
I'd be interested if anyone has a Gravelines server, in your network speed tests.
I considered getting one myself, but unfortunately it seems to have 5-10ms worse ping from anywhere I tried. Compare yourself, ping/trace to these IPs: 37.187.20.2 (GRA), 5.39.86.2 (RBX).
I always get good speeds from my GRA atom, better than RBX. I would guess it's because the network is less saturated than at RBX and also I live in the UK so GRA is slightly closer.
The Kimsufi websites shows direct links between London and Amsterdam.

But the weathermap doesn't show any links. What gives?
I'll PM you the IP I have.
Omg... Seems like my Atom server just broke -_-"
Just got this email from OVH
Do you see any interventions from your control panel?
Yeah, seems like they have disabled monitoring and a hard reboot has been requested (got an email about this also a minute ago)
I validated my account successfully but no atoms left
From the UK, it might be one special case where GRA is better. But from the rest of Europe, one example... From Amsterdam it gets directly to Roubaix:
But to Gravelines, it goes to the same router in Roubaix first, then to Telehouse 2 DC in Paris(!!!!), and only then gets to GRA:
Now take a look at the map: http://www.ovh.com/fr/apropos/datacentres.xml
Does not make a lot of sense to route all the way through Paris here.
My GRA freevps bench:
Speedtest:
Anything else you'd like me to run just let me know
OVH said they will give me a refund, but they didn't tell me anything about the server
A refund for what? Do you still have your server?
I never got my i3 server at BHS. I do still have my Atom server though
I just called them again to ask how long it's gonna take before i got my money back, they said it will take between 1 and 2 weeks -.-'
But you said you had a defect on your server.. what happened with that?
Ah, that's my Atom server :P
It's fixed, network cable gave up his life
They're advertising i3s at BHS now..
I know, i ordered it yesterday but something went wrong at their end and they cancelled the order
For those who bought i3s...what flavor did you get? This is mine in France:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2130 CPU @ 3.40GHz
seems to be what everyone is getting.. I got that in RBX and BHS.
I ordered mine Friday, but it's not arrived
I'm guessing they all have Sandybridge i3's probably all 2130
Damn you ovh, I just got my second ks1 in rbx instead of gra. I used the availability script posted earlier here to find out the location! apparently it doesn't work all the time!
Did you check your spam box? Seems abit too long a wait.. both my i3 was delivered in less than 10 min
