I hate that they are only using only Telstra as their upstream. It's like the ultimate team up against the consumer. Telstra doesn't peer, they make other providers pay for transit. More servers and applications hosted with OVH the more bandwidth ISPs need to pay Telstra for.
Seems I also have an invoice to be paid today.... I dont think so.
Dear Sir,
You placed your order on the 2nd of October 2016. We are going to need all back payments to be paid before your server is online.
Thank you for your patience over the past 6 months.
Kind Regards,
OVH Support
Its taking a while to install too, Hmm
OH MY GOD YESS OMG OMG
This must mean they have their PoPs and anti-ddos vac all set up too, hopefully their network is up and solid by this point now
Here's what a traceroute to an active server in their sydney DC from midwest US looks like, it appears to go right, through europe instead of left, through LAX and then to Sydney that way (typically over the southern cross cables)

1ms from another server in Sydney to ovh's own in Sydney is pretty good, either that or Vultrs VPSs are hosted in the same DC as OVH's AU servers or one close to it (Equinix builds datacenters in same location close to each other for better latency)
Are extra IP blocks available at this time? I know OVH recently got 2 more /17s but that was probably to address their shortage of addresses in Europe
Here's the link to order these if anyone still desires to do so, https://www.ovh.com/us/discover/
I would but I would never be able to utilize the server to its fullest capabilities so I'll probably stick with VPS providers until then
Not yet. Neither is Windows, its missing from the distribution list.
Still havent got mine Literally jumped out of bed to check.
Have faith, it will come soon. I ordered as soon as I could so would be surprised if Im not in the first few. Not many people held on either. The invoice was just that, an invoice, not a payment request.
From LA, I see routing thru coresite straight to OVH SYD:
I assume you could use KVM/IPMI to install windows if that is an option available on these servers yet
-
HERE IS THE ANSWER
They indeed are in Equinix for their Sydney servers. I went through the virtual tour of the Equinix Sydney datacenter http://www.equinix.com/resources/media/sy3-virtual-tour/ and they most likely are renting private cages with their own racks inside the DC
Something like that except probably bigger, I assume they have some deal worked out with SY4
New UPS needed a CRANE! Hmm.
Wow warsaw , love that!
Anyone get server in Singapore?
anyone else got a server?
@pbgben have you had a chance to run any benchmarks? Any idea what the speeds and latency are like to Auckland New Zealand?
its great new . is that accept or ignore DMCA for music site like me شعبي
Not sure, not the most cost effective location for that though.
That uptime is impressive
Cool, time to play. How would one install windows from the rescue boot? Not too familiar with OVH stuff
For anyone who's interested...
Lol 200 ms to Christchurch New Zealand. The speeds to USA are a bit of a disappointment same with Singapore
Surely it's just a temp issue for whatever ISP that location is using.
