Bandwidth reset?

I agree, we use alot of bandwidth, and we are not mad about the bandwidth changes, we are going to buy business SLA bandwidth because it is still a good price. Im just waiting to see if oles can adapt the plan a little to suit our specific needs. We need roughly 400mbps average. but the server pushing the load wont be known to us and we plan to have more servers.

I was thinking that maybe oles could give us the 100mbps transit that you get from SLA premium and let us buy 300mbps business SLA bandwidth, but give us outbound 400mbps transit on a per client basis. Basically we want to buy the bandwidth that we are going to use, we just cant have it tied to one server.

Andys right, you should move to a pro server and have 100mbps per client.

I guessed, but needed to be 100% sure.

Kimsufi's weren't designed to be used at 60Mbps+ continuously, which is probably why its now being affected with the new standard SLA rules. Your maximum allowed is probably 8, 10 or 12Mbps, depending on the model, so because you exceed that, the 95 percentile has gone too high, and you lose your burst to 100Mbps, and the 8/10/12 becomes your new limit. It will remain that limit until the average drops below the limit and your burst can be restored.

You really need the bandwidth, go with the bandwidth series and pay for the bandwidth, or go with a Premium Series PRO server on ovh.co.uk.

Remember bandwidth costs about €2-3/Mbps, so you can't expect that sort of bandwidth from a Kimsufi server, the range wasn't designed for it, and the price wasn't supposed to pay for it either.

I would like to hear from an ovh staffer if possible.As im billed today and will close the server if nothing is done.Then get a new one that works.
You still didn't answer what server it is. Kimsufi or a PRO server? Without that we can't advise further.

Which server do you have and on which "bandwidth" series?

The 95th bar being on 60Mbps means your average bandwidth so far today, minus the top 5% of peaks, has been 60Mbps.

I beleive the 95th line you see is a variable, it is showing you what your 95th percentile outbound is. Mine is up around 400, but of course one of the expensive servers.

Still dont explain the 95th line being at 60mbits! i should not be capped if i dont go over this 95th line for 35hours each month is it?

Where you get this 8mbps from i dont know.
Depending on the server you have, 8, 10 or 12Mbps is the limit before you get capped to that speed. If your average goes over that limit, you get capped to the limit. It is checked every day to see if your average dropped below the limit.

You're confusing your bits and your bytes.

Mb/s = MegaBITS/sec
Mbps = MegaBITS/sec too

Your limit is 8Mbps, that means its over the limit.

This cut in speed happend at 17.00hrs
Never had this happen in 8 months ive had the server.
When will i go back from LOW to normal?
Im now getting only 70kb on ftp!
Lucky its the day before im due to pay.

So when does one get their 100mb server back from a 70kb server?
Kimsufi I presume? Look on what the 95% percentile speed is on the server you bought. Get the average below that speed to get your priority back.
