It's interesting to note that they've decided to go and upgraded all existing older SP servers which previously had 100Mbit ports to 200Mbit for free. They've been upgrading all the switches the last 3 weeks.
I think they could get less churn by doing some of these upgrades but also by lowering server prices after reaching a certain milestone.
Personally I know I was interested in moving to a newer SP server which had a faster CPU and more RAM combined with 200MBit port for only $20/more a month until I heard they were going to upgrade my port for free. But that wasn't advertised until I emailed them and it hasn't happened weeks later. If they were proactive in emailing an upgrade notice and also maybe even upgrading the ports first before the new servers came out they would prevent a lot of wasted 'upgrades'.

- SG- 13y agoYou can clearly see their capacity with the OVH Weather Map and it really doesn't show that being the case for at least North America (I know it's not peak time but I've been keeping tabs on it at peak almost every day for the last few months): http://weathermap.ovh.net/usa http://weathermap.ovh.net/usa I don't know what the situation is in Europe.
