A comparison between some VPS providers. It uses Ansible to perform a series of automated benchmark tests over the VPS servers that you specify. It allows the reproducibility of those tests by anyone that wanted to compare these results to their own. All the tests results are available in order to provide independence and transparency.

Update traffic limits for OVH #25

Closed ad-m closed 7 years ago

ad-m commented 7 years ago

See at https://www.ovh.ie/support/termsofservice/ at https://www.ovh.ie/support/termsofservice/Special_Conditions_for_Website_Hosting_Services_on_a_Virtual_Private_Server.pdf :

2.8 The Supplier will guarantee the bandwidth of the VPS up to 100 Mbps as long as the traffic of the bandwidth does not exceed the pre-defined set monthly volume of 10TB. This monthly volume includes both intra-OVH traffic and traffic outside of the OVH network. 2.9 When the monthly traffic volume exceeds the set monthly volume, the bandwidth of the VPS will be limited to 1 Mbps until the next monthly renewal date.

I hit OVH traffic limits several times, so this might occur.

Thank you very much to alert me about this!

But there is little confusion, there is still an unlimited traffic here as they say, only that they do you a bandwidth throttle after certain volume of traffic. Obviously, to reduce the bandwidth by a factor or 10 is a considerable degradation of the service making it almost unusable for anything mildly serious.

Thus, I would not change the ∞ traffic limit claim in the table because is still true, but I would add this information as note below the table. Would you like to perform the change in the pull request yourself?
