Usuall for TCP congestion cubic is used as default. You can switch to BBR which is another congestion handler. I read a long time ago about it, on here I believe, regarding OVHs bad networking. Right now it seems to work for RBX. I didnt know that RBX was such a weird DC or else I would have gotten my server in GRA.
I don't have any issues with the KS-LE-1 (E3-1245v2, 32GB, 2x 960GB SSD) in GRA right now. 1000/300 on IPv4 and 1000/1000 on IPv6.
€12 per month for that machine, power here is expensive and if I were to run the stuff I run on that server at home, it would cost me way more. Almost can't believe it.
How expensive?
I pay about €0.30/kWh.
Server is getting hammered nearly 24/7, so power consumption is pretty high, especially with older hardware.
It's also pretty great that when the SSD, RAM or something like that fails they will just replace it without it costing you anything.
Its best to milk it while you can. I think OVH is stretching themselves with these sales, and I suspect in the next 2-3 years they will shut down datacenters RBX1-3, possibly followed by RBX4-5 in the near future, and retire all the servers in them. They are already force-retiring the old VPS plans in Jan 2025 without the possibility to keep the same IP. Similar fate for the early BHS datacenters too. RBX6-8 are supposed to be state-of-the-art in comparison.
I doubt they would shut RBX3,4,5 - 3 & 5 is in literally the same DC as 6 (internally RBX5 & 6 is marked as RBX3).
RBX4 is still very active and has 'modern' servers in it, and they do a lot of work on it regularly. Recently been a lot of rack movements too.
RBX2 - maybe, but who knows. It used to be plagued with packetloss due to dodgy core routers, not sure if it's still the same.
Ouch. I'm paying 0.07-0.13€ and my peak heat/cold bill is 100€+ and it hurts. Can't imagine what's your bill.
Dunno how much my homelab on EPYC 7551P is using when idling, but 2× Tesla P40 draw about ~400W at full load
Naturally just my suspicion, but I am pretty sure RBX2-5 will eventually see the same fate as RBX-1 https://www.ovhcloud.com/en/lp/end-service-rbx-1/
Even the smallest modern CPU in RBX5 is like E3-1270v6 or similar? I think they will get rid of all CPUs older than D-1520. All the D and E- series servers are in RBX 6 or newer from what I've seen buying some KS and SYS servers. This could obviously happen alot sooner if the power rates go up again or OVH starts getting taxed for their carbon footprint and similar nonsense.
I'd never run that here with my power pricing, that's quite a bit.
The coldest months, december and january, are usually €250+ per month. Depends on how cold it is.
In the uk in the peak hours electricity prices are £0.26 kWh so having a KS server as a home lab is well worth it it for £10 per month for a KS-LE-B
I know for a fact that the E3-1230 v6 is in RBX4 & 5, and the E3-1270 v6 is also in RBX4. D-1520/1s are 2016, E3-12(30/70) v6 are 2017.
RBX5 is mainly filled with the Atoms, so at most I imagine they will bin all of those and replace them with proper racks, but not by shutting the entire DC.
RBX1 was filled with old Atoms, i3s etc, sold for peanuts. RBX3/4/5 will be filled with people paying $100+ for the current KS-LE(s) - it wouldn't make sense for them to throw them all in the bin.
Got a KS-5 (E3-1270v6) and a KS-LE-E (E5-1650V3) both in RBX6. Hope this one is ok in regard to network etc.
What about BHS4? Got several there, a newer Xeon E-22xx is in BHS8...
And I recently got rid of a D-1541 in GRA1 that seemed to attract way more probs than any other OVH server...
I started to work on it on the past week and I think that it is ready to test in public.
OVH Eco Autoorder script with Docker support
It is a different idea as you can not simply enter the desired numbers to order. Instead, you can
Once again. It is beta, so I'm open for feedback but I can not guarantee that it works as you want and if you try, use it on your own risk!

Configure and start it. If you want to modify the config you need to stop it.
Good luck!
What is happening in BHS, OVH confirmed that my KS-A order would be delivered on 29-11..
Is it a joke or a real info ? let's see
Where did you get this info?
OVH Support (it seems they are going to have new components at this date)
Can I pm you?
Sure
They did that a few times and next day, it was refunded.
Don't believe what OVH tells you, mostly fake news.
Terminations just go ad-hoc without any warning.
The Support guy that tells you that, gets informed last.
What exactly does "order pre-validation" / "skip_validate" do exactly?
If skip false, it calls the validate order endpoint before order, and compare the monthly price with ceiling. It helps to avoid unwanted prices if someone beginner. And both the exact order and the validation logged to the preferences file to make easier debug or look the order at a later time.
If someone want to be the quickest, the true skip validation allows the script to place order immediately when server available.
The likelihood of still getting a KS-LE-B or KS-A in LIM/GRA/(SGB) is probably close to zero, right?
Does anyone happen to have one lying around and not know what to do with it?
Lol, you'll need to 10x that amount.
Yea this aint happening for 45$
wow but LE-B have different config listed, seems like you got double ram and different cpu?
Intel Xeon E3-1245v5 - 4c/8t - 3.5GHz/3.9GHz

Hello LET support team. 😉
Since getting two KS-LE-1's in BHS, I've noticed they have very slow download (receive) speeds. Both IPv4 and IPv6. Anyone else notice slow download with their KS-LE-# in BHS?
This only happens with my KS-LE-1's in BHS. Same exact config KS-LE-1 in GRA can download speed test files from US hosts at 200-400mbps (good!), but the same files pull at just 10-40mbps from the BHS KS-LE-1's. My KS-LE-[ACE]'s and SYS's in BHS can download the same files at over 500mbps.
The KS-LE-1's are capable of 1gbps downloads (IPv4). I can get close to 1gbps download (receive) from a small number of hosts that are close by (like, 10ms away), including ones outside of OVH's network.
Uploads (send speeds) are all fine, often maxing the 300mbps IPv4 limit. So it's not a huge issue, but if not fixable, would limit what I can use the KS-LE-1's for.
All have
bbrin their sysctl.confI've tested more than just yabs, but here's some yabs as an example.
KS-LE-1 in BHS ipv4:
Compared to a KS-LE-C in BHS:
IPv6 have similar results.
Status update before going to sleep:
What's changed?
Not much. All good deals are already gone?
Your list shows ECC even for machines which don't have ECC. That's not important of course but can you go to sleep knowing this ? Evil smile.
Tonight I got delivered a KS-LE-1 in RBX with 32GB RAM, 1 Gbps IPv6 up, and 2x450G SSD + 2x2T HDD. Some luck at last!
The bad side: The HDDs are HGST HUS724020ALA640 with a power on time of 64000h (7 years 4 months) and 79400h (9 years), and around 2600 power cycles both.
This is for long-term usage as file server and they'll bite the dust at any moment... Wondering if I should ask for a replacement?
