What's your opinion on their network? Back in the day they had poor interconnectivity reputation. Do you have any experience about responsiveness to hardware problems?

My sample size is limited, however I've not had an issue. I'm getting > 100megs. latency isn't bad either. 9-10ms between paris and the Midlands in britian, and 6ms to amsterdam I think it depends on your offering, I understand that different parts of the company (online.net appears to be a subsidiary of OVH) have different specs. They do have a rather sexy graph though: https://status.online.net/weathermap/ https://status.online.net/weathermap/

      You can't tease like that without supplying said competitors! Are we just talking Hetzner or are there others I don't know of in the budget dedi market?

When I tried them around spring of this year they did have poorer international peering than others. Should be fine for EU and US tho.

I have a Dedibox MD 2015 Gen2 [1] (with SSDs) on online.net. I can't complain, the machine runs well and the support is fast. I use it in production to run a website which serves Europe customers. These are my IPv4 speedtests using bench-sh-2 [2]: CDN - nearest location: Download speed from Cachefly: 95.0MB/s America - United States: Download speed from Softlayer, Dallas, TX: 13.5MB/s Download speed from Softlayer, Seattle, WA: 12.1MB/s Download speed from Softlayer, San Jose, CA: 11.7MB/s Download speed from Softlayer, Washington, DC: 20.8MB/s Asia: Download speed from Linode, Tokyo, Japan: 4.32MB/s Download speed from Softlayer, Singapore: 10.3MB/s Europe: Download speed from i3d.net, Rotterdam, Netherlands: 54.2MB/s Download speed from Leaseweb, Haarlem, Netherlands: 88.5MB/s They currently have connectivity issues to Coloat (Atlanta). I raised a issue ticket and they responded that they have "already contacted Coloat to change the route on their side and use better route but they don't do the modification".

  I've encountered some bad routing with OVH, but so I've done with other service providers too. I guess most of people don't even notice those fails, because they don't have constant automated monitoring. Usually NOC such problems pretty quickly.
