1 Gig link limited to 300Mbps, on a good day. OVH oversells hard.
Please learn what 5G UWB, 5G UC is and what QCI levels are. Did you really just equate weather to 5G service?
I've never seen someone so confidently wrong, but goes with the LET angle. I push close or higher than 1TB on these and neither care. You both again missed the fact that 300Mbps is 'showing it's age' with speeds nowadays.
Sure it can power your small chess website, no one said otherwise. Does my cell constantly get 3x the download speed your server can upload? Yep.
YMMV in flyover states where DSL is the best you can get. Perhaps NYC Metro is different.
I'm in a similar position – my old atom got upgraded from 0.5 to 2T when the old drive started falling apart. If it were still 0.5 I'd have probably dropped it immediately, but at 2 I might keep it around for a while as extra redundancy for some off-site backups and ahem Linux ISOs. We'll see if the 100mbps connection starts to feel limiting.
Any chance you could post yabs from sys1 and ks4?
No option to, but I can't remember if these CPUs had the option when they were on Advance.
I wonder if the A in KS-A is not for Anniversary already?
All of these are running in prod, so have other loads on them
SYS-1, 64GB, 2x 512GB - London
SYS-1, 128GB, 2x 512GB, 2x 4TB - Gravelines
KS-4, 16GB, 2x 4TB HDD - Strasbourg
Perfect! Thank you
Worth mentioning, E-2236 also turned up in Germany as well (was 1G down though), I just swapped it out for the 64GB in London since there is only around £10 difference between 32GB and 64GB.
Mobile bandwidth is massively oversold too, by its very nature. Everyone in the same cell as you right now are in the same collision domain. If a couple of others are running high throughput stuff you rates will decrease, and at a certain point it'll fall off much more rapidly as the frequency sharing & hopping algorithms get towards the limit of what can be done.
That is a very nice mirror you are looking at there!
Stating that your apples are more appley then an orange does not make the orange a bad choice for people who like oranges.
Can't disagree with you there though.
In bursts, yes. Try transferring that much, or even 300mbps, for a significant part of a day regularly, and see what happens. I expect you'll either be throttled down to a much slower rate until your next billing period or be asked to go forth and fornicate.
Of course if you are running a site/app intended for users who will be pulling that sort of data frequently (something involving high quality streaming or significant downloads, for instance) then you don't want a KS server, but I don't see anyone claiming that they are good for that.
Oh man.
OVH servers are great. I said 300Mbps is showing its age when I can push 1TB/month.
I routinely watch Neflix at 4K on Wireguard on it @MeAtExampleDotCom without getting tossed off.
This may be different in other areas, not NYC metro.
I'll stream this afternoon and tonight's movie for you in 4K on wireguard total wireless (tracfone rebranded verizon) in your honor.
I dunno where I said OVH and Kimsufi servers weren't just fine. So many jumping at the wrong point.
I do, often. The point of these carriers is it's unmetered UWB as long as it's not mobile hotspot.
Just don't try that in a small town, that's where you'll stick out.
So what is your point? That it is impractical to run a high performance high volume service that normally requires fairly expensive infrastructure to be practical, on a budget server?
Because that point really doesn't need making. Or if it does, anyone it needs making too⁰ isn't going to be listening.
[0] the “your $0.03/mo service was down for five minutes, I could have lost millions in that time! I demand reparations!!11!!!!!one!” crowd perhaps
What the actual fuck are you on about?
I merely said 300Mbps is showing it's age in a day when cell phone bandwidth is 3x and have a group of weird OVH shilling nerds going on about... I'm not even sure, or care.
You're the "I don't understand english so I'll just fight with myself about a non issue" crowd perhaps.
Apparently they will, and misconvey my point, possibly due to a lack of English language, and keep going on about it.
Enjoy your OVH circlejerk, sorry to pop in!
Or your lack of explaining yourself in a way people get…
Ill do my best. So, the original response that started all this was '300 Mbps is showing its age' - in a day when you can get 1Gbps on prepaid US cell service, 300Mbps wasn't impressive to me, especially after trying to use it.
I got responses from 'it runs my chess site fine, you can't run that speed on 5G UWB, and general angriness.
I never said these servers aren't good and serve their purpose. Rather when people on cell phones can push 1Gbps, 300Mbps isn't too enticing.
This seems to have caused havoc, and I shall not sully another OVH thread by saying 300Mbps is ... eh - nowadays.
I didn't say it without experience, rather I got a KS-1, tried syncing my ~1TB iOS with PhotoSync and from nload I realized I was bottlenecking my inbound, even when syncing via cell. I thought 300/300Mbps via FiOS was enough, but when I realized I uploaded ~3k photos in the same time 20k photos were uploaded to Wasabi, I threw in the towel and went back to Wasabi, cancelling the KS-1.
Do these servers have very good use cases? Yes! Did I notice a slowdown backing up my photo collection even on SSD due to 300Mbps inbound... yeah. That was my only point.
Not sure where it got into pissing matches, but I routinely use 400-800 GB per month without issue. They don't throttle in NYC metro area, they just drop you from QCI 6-7, depending on the provider to QCI 9, which.. if there's enough bandwidth doesn't matter.
If you're in a less populus state with 1 5G tower for the town and start pushing serious bandiwdth, sure - you may get a call, or throttled. So far 5-6 months and zero slowdowns with 500GB+ / provider / month.
If I've been de-prioritized to QCI 9, never noticed it because I haven't dropped below 250Mbps or use a rooted Android device which could show me the QCI level I'm on.
You can't use it because your demand is too high, you can use a higher bandwidth server. You don't need it but others do, without you OVH will still develop normally. Little money but high demand.
It seems you’re truly an elite user. 300 Mbps is more than enough for most people. You should really stop constantly monitoring your upload processes; have you heard of automation? For 99% of people, 300 Mbps is sufficient. I upload 10TB of data a month with 100 Mbps, and I don’t even notice it—all at lightning speed, because I’m not watching it upload. Haha
The “my chess site” seems deliberately belittling, given that the site mention is a fairly significant chess site that sees a lot of activity.
Probably a good plan!
Looking back, the discussion seems to have taken a drop in tone when someone by the username Kris said “You don't know what you talk of son.” when someone pointed out the different metrics being compared. I'm guessing that was said in a toung-in-cheek manner, but it can be read as far more actively dismissive. Also, referencing the same message, phrases like “I didn't bother reading the rest of your thread” don't tend to be a great choice if you are not trying to look like you are whopping it out on the table. Your original two-line “pfffft” message had none of the nuance that the longer messages since have done, so it seems reasonable that someone's response would be to point out some of the nuance they thought necessary for the discussion.
Pissing matches seem to be the standard conversational practice in the race to the bottom that is online discussion, especially for places like here where it is essentially the local sport. If you don't want to be in pissing matches, you need to be more careful that your wording can't so easily be the catalyst that starts them.
[Yes, I'm well aware that my own verbiage makes me sound like a condescending prick at times – there is a very good reason for this which I'm pretty much “at one with”, so I don't get surprised/offended when it is pointed out!]
I have a KS-4 in GRA with 2x4Tb HDD and 16Gb RAM paid until Nov 1st if anyone wants it. It has 1G download, 0.3G upload.
I'll ask €20 for it which is basically what I've paid for this month of service.
Just PM me your OVH handle, and if your LET account is not too new, you can send me the money once you get the server.
And it's gone.

but anybody got more than one ks-a ?
Gib KS-A to mie pls
Gib KS-A to mie pls
They seem to be restocking a lot quicker/more regularly in the last 24/48 hours…still no sign of the KS-A though
Is it re-stocking, or people dropping the service after a month having bought in the rush and letting them lapse after changing their minds, so the servers are automatically dropped back into the available pool?
Checkservers.ovh sees the availability of available KS-1/KS-4 as "1H LOW" so I'd say it's the latter.
Unless OVH decided to restock servers one by one, which I don't think they do (?).
