Interesting.... The cable was failing, and because of that the NIC downgraded itself to 10 Mbps... Not a common case....
Here are the details of this operation:

OVH guarantees different levels of internal, incoming, and outgoing bandwidth according to the dedicated server model. This bandwidth is guaranteed for normal usage (upgrade and specific use available as an option) and take advantage of the entire OVH network infrastructure (Ultimate inter-connections).
Bandwidth is no longer guaranteed when the server or servers are used for the following activities:
- Anonymisation service (proxy), CDN service
- Storage or file exchange platform (especially but not exclusively cyberlocker)
- Streaming
- Download platform
- Service for bypassing limits imposed by the download platforms
- VOD viewing platform (videos on demand)
- Servers used for downloads and file sharing on P2P networks (especially non-exhaustive: Seedbox).
Also, OVH cannot guarantee the bandwidth when server activity requires very intensive and uninterrupted bandwidth.
For such usage, you will need to subscribe to an additional bandwidth option. If required, the dedicated server will be limited to 10 Mbps, with no traffic limitations.
