You realize that you replied to a point saying "I will have to pay for vRack to setup a private network and is more complicated." with a link to vRack, right?

  Right, because his claim is false. You can get up to 10 Gbps vRack for free, and it's included with Public Cloud.

    True. I failed to mention that I was talking about dedicated servers. In which case, the servers with vRack enabled are costlier. I did not check for their VPS offering.

      That's true. But OVH provides a free private network with all public cloud instances, just like AWS and GCP. If we are comparing apples to apples.
