Kimsufi policy changes (SLA/noSLA)

[andra]

I´m doing rss on one site right now with my kimsufi.
120 active torrents and never under 5MB/s up.
Still not noLSA here.

What Kimsufi are you running that many torrents off of?

The smallest one 1 gb ram.

Not all active but still around 20 torrents active.

man, this means you are running only 20 torrents. the other 81 is not runnnig
anyway, you can easily run 100+ torrents with rtorrent on kimsufi L. just dont leech many at the same time, that kills the resources.

It looks like only the "Pro" range will be decent for use of a seedbox. Too bad, but the party had to end sometime.

The UK, NL, DE market have 2-3 years of delay with what we did in France.
A new UK's customer is looking for GB/mo. And we don't have any GB/mo
limit. So he doesn't trust Ovh. "Hmmm no GB/mo ? It has to be something
strange". That is why we will propose the new "old offers" just to be
compared to all our competitors. So you will be able to compare and say
"Ovh's GB/mo offer is great". And when you check the "SLA Standard offer"
you will say "SLA Standard gives me more for the same price, there is no
competitor for this offer, but it's 'get more for the same price' and I
like it".

*******

n the UK/ ES / PL / DE / IT subsidiaries , we will propose 4 bandwidth offers. Historically speaking, we have exported in our subsidiaries, our French principle of a dedicated server with a bill that does not change depending on server utilization during the month. This means that depending on the network use and not to charge the customer, we adapt network quality for each client. Thus the client has an invoice without any surprises at the end of each month regardless of the use of his server. The quality of the network is only a consequence of what he is willing to pay and the actual use of its server. The principle of the bill without surprise is the basis of our success in Europe. This principle is very expensive for our customers in France as much as in our subsidaries some customers don't understand the pros for such a functionning or/and want to pay what they actually consume and do not understand why they do not pay more when they consume more. And they are struggling to trust Ovh. For example, our German customers are surprised not to find on our site prices for additional GB. Our English customers read only 100Mbps without the "not always guaranteed SLA standard network". And our Polish customers order each PRO server with a different address to get 100Mbps / server and not 100Mbps / customer (and then we detect this kind of abuse, we adapt the network quality to the project and the customer is not happy, because he uses 1Gbps of bandwidth with 12 servers and he finds it normal). That is why we will propose this week and only for our subsidiaries, 4 different "sets" of servers:- Traffic series (with the principle of GB / month and the price of additional GB)
- Burstable series (with the burst and a 95% limit)
- Standard / Premium Series (what we currently offer, without 100Mbps / customer)
- Unmetered series (100Mbps / up to 500Mbps / server)
It will be much clearer, more readable and more comparable. And customers who wish to have the principle of the bill without suprises, we also be able to find happiness in Ovh.

The deployment of the network in Warsaw will be completed in about 2 weeks. Routers are there, but fiber optics are not yet pulled. We will interconnect to PL-IX, WIX and we are negotiating 10G transit in Warsaw to sell traffic to TPSA directly via our network. Thus, we will be able to guarantee the network quality and the best response time for Polish visitors, as we have done with German visitors (we have10G with T-Systems in Frankfurt) Spanish visitors (we have 10G with Level3 in Madrid), with English visitors (we have 10G with Global Crossing in London) and Dutch visitors (we have 10G with Level3 in Amsterdam). Thus, we can better guarantee the quality of connecting to our network to all visitors from Europe. For 3 days, we are interconnected in 10G in PAIX in New York. The aim is to negotiate peerings with operators in the U.S.. ChtiX will start in about 3 weeks. We are in the last line of deployment.
