Are OVH ports shared?
I recently bought a 2Gbps server from OVH, unable to go past 1G and seems support are "ignoring", for the price im not totally surprised (but i do expect it to not be stuck at 1Gbps 24/7 ), i cant seem to find any fine-print to suggest it is shared or not so....
Anyone else experienced this or know what i can do?

It looks like, I have exactly the same issue.
Super strange, support just dont reply to so that doesnt help either. would recommend xhosts going forward, i use them now and they are very good, no issues so far
On a VPS? Yes obviously..
An easy way to start is this oneliner;
wget -O /dev/null https://proof.ovh.net/files/1Gb.dat 2>&1 | grep -o '[0-9.]+ [KMGT]*B/s'
to check whether you're able to pull 2 Gbit/s at all even within the OVH network.
If that doesn't look good, try to select the relevant file for your datacenter from https://proof.ovh.net/ and pull it with wget/curl and check how that goes (bursts etc).
I don't know what speeds OVH promise outside their own network but that should at least show you whether you're able to pull 2 Gb/s at all.
