Is there any issue with OVH in particular?

I'd invert that - by far the lowest latency ping I've seen for an external service was fly.io (single digit ms), and I never worked out quite where it was. Edit: to be clear, I mean ping from my house, not another data center.

  Are you very close to that particular datacenter by any chance?

    Am in Montreal so assume they have one here practically connected to my ISP. But similar local hosting has been twice as slow, hence the oddity.

      Yep, there's a PoP in Montreal. Deploy to region YUL to use it.

        Yeah, testing that is how I saw the impressive figures. Like many others though I cannot live with the fly unbounded pricing model or difficulties with data persistence, otherwise I would absolutely have been there a year ago. EDIT: In fairness to fly it appears they have updated both their pricing plans and data persistence situation since I was making these decisions.

        What do you mean by unbounded pricing model? Just curios because I'm in the process of jumping to fly's GPU offering. I can see that you could set auto scale with min and max instances. So from my thinking, you could know the absolute maximum spending per month.

OVH saw a datacenter burn down a few years ago: > These reports criticize OVHcloud for having no fire prevention system and no power cut-off on the site, for using wooden floors, and for a free-cooling design that created airflows that spread the fire. The reports also say that water was detected near electrical systems before the fire broke out. OVH lied to some customers about which data center held their backups, keeping them in the same data center as the source machines. Both their own backups offering, and when a customer managed their own backups and explicitly copied the data to another DC. Oh, and OVH almost recovered a customer's data, but accidentally deleted it instead. https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/ovhcloud-ordered-to-pay-250k-to-two-customers-who-lost-data-in-strasbourg-data-center-fire/ https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/ovhcloud-ordered-...
