I forgot to renew mine
The best sleep I ever received was on Black Friday - Everyone was out killing each other for 1$ DVD's of movies you can watch for free on YouTube. Stomping poor children into the ground for 32 Inch 720p TV's and stabbing someone to death over PS3 Bundle.
I guess you could say it was sleep worth dying for.
5/7 Would sleep through Black Friday again.
One of my servers got that crap connection speeds too. Just opened a ticket.
I have had thees flash sale prices for months now since last big sale. I renew month by month. So it is (was) a good deal. My issue was that I got so many servers that I have to get rid of some. Paying over €100/mo for my servers, and only uses about 4-5. Not so cheap then...lol.

Probably lots of people running speedtest right now....
My BHS2 box is slow, BHS1 is fine. Internal network speeds are good, upload seems fine, just downloads from external sources is rough.
With 10 Gbit uplink switches, 40/100 Gbit inter-DC links and multi-terabit global capacity, you think a bunch of LET wankers would be anything but a drop in the ocean? (Note: a normal person buying a server does NOT run a speedtest as the first thing they do).
Nope, it's just that some racks or rooms primarily at BHS2 apparently have overloaded connections, and that's a permanent situation so far, you can even check threads from the previous sales back in the summer. There were a lot of exactly the same complaints, e.g. see this thread starting from: https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/1774631/#Comment_1774631
Those are good speed for BHS2.
Last time I had a KS3C, it would only get 1 MB/s at most.
Wonder if @EtienneM can help share some info on the BHS2 network issues?
They won't do anything about the crappy network. They says it's out of their control.
My box from the last flash sale:
Well that's frustrating. You figure with more than a few reports they'd attempt to fix something.
At least the upload speeds look fine. Could always setup a VPN to my OVH VPS :P
my box from the last flash sale is fine:
But it is in BHS1, so I guess @rm_ is right.
Tried again and similar results:
Speedtest only:
We're going to have some crazy dedi deal for Black Friday, watch this space I guess
If the network is out of their control, then who the hell runs OVH's network?
For those that got the really slow network speeds: support won't do shit for you - myself and a lot of other people got burned on the last sale and spent the entire month dealing with Kimsufi support...between messaging Octave, dealing with one of their engineers at BHS, and regular support at Kimsufi they admitted to the problem/verified it but then all they did was tell us over and over that it wasn't fixed and that they would give us any new info as they came across it.
bring back 32/64MB plan VPS if you can
For the money you guys are paying for i5 @ovh, you are lucky to even have a network connected.
How many are lucky to get i5? And for the rest with i3 it's not worth it in my opinion.
From the sale in July/August I got 10 x i5 with 16 RAM. Two was in BHS (i5-3570S) the rest was in RBX and GRA and have the i5-2400 CPU in them, also with 16 GB RAM.
Not worth it? i3 with 8 gigs of ram, like unmetered bw and ddos protection for 12$ (or smth like this). Good luck finding a VPS that can beat that.
I can live with crap download speeds as long as the upload speeds hold out, hopefully gets fixed long term - for now just relaying big downloads through another box at OVH.
Got Proxmox installed, got a VM pushing a consistent 80Mbps of Linux ISOs, passing port 80 & 443 back to a VM for reverse proxying to some other internal VMs for hosting misc sites/apps. Got a VM assigned with a few hundred gigs of storage to act as a (slow) 3rd level backup of some critical stuff.
Load sitting around 0.79 currently. Can definitely get your money's worth out of one of these
So...it was missing the roof?
0/10 Poor banter, would not read again.
