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?
Comments
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.
Im barley able to pull 1, and when i do it doesnt last long nor go higher

Yikes...
I’ve never in my whole life I don’t think seen a VPS provider with dedicated ports for each VPS
Do you ever share your external port with people? I need a port capable of pumping alot of stuff in and out at high speeds
i worded the post wrong lol, but i think you get what im trying to say haha...
I just want to be able to pump in and out
You can ask @Murv he goes like a rabbit
for my dedicated OVH I have the guaranteed 1 gbs option and never had a problem getting the full speed.
OVH is awesome...
Try speedtest cli
Are you using iperf3 to test? Do you have yabs results?
Run this:
If that returns something, then yes it's shared. The only time you'd have a dedicated port on a VPS is if it's using SR-IOV, and you would know if it does that because it would be a lot more expensive and it would be prominently advertised.
Now, you might have a guaranteed slice of a shared port (as opposed to best-effort bandwidth), but that's not the same thing.
You've been using wrong providers so far

iperf Done.
It doesnt return anything at all.
I've used yabs to test the speed and it actually shows 2Gbps.
Ended up purchasing a server with @xHosts, John is a legend
purchased from them before plan to buy more 🫡
