This could be a coincidence but my issue has now been resolved. Thank you if someone has hurried this along. Only RBX-3 for me to complain about now.

No.

The ticket had a reply on 28/02/2010 asking me for confirmation that an intervention could be done on my server. I confirmed by 16:20 and nothing has been done since. I have been an OVH customer for around 6 months and never really had any support issues I couldn't solve myself so this is a great disappointment to me.

I have also purchased another server to get something done quicker and ran into the RBX3 virtual mac problem, another disappointing move by OVH. I won't go into that in this thread as I have added a reply to the thread started by Andy titled "Unable to create virtual MAC for VMWare".

A planned 4 hour maintenance window to my clients is rapidly approaching 24 hours and I doubt anything will be done on a Sunday at this rate.

Does technical support work at weekends or am I going to have nearly three days downtime because OVH didn't configure my BIOS to work with all the installation options from the manager?

Our incident team is available 24/7: http://www.ovh.co.uk/customerspace/support/

It would seem not, or you would have a reply to your ticket, would you not?

Basically, the technical support through the ticket system is already available 24/7 (the phone submission system started around a month ago), which I guess is what you're interested about.
So this doesn't actually exist?

Should it really say we can submit 24/7 but don't expect an answer until office hours?

There is no tech support at weekends, and probably never will be. They've been promising 24/7 support for nearly 12 months now, and still nothing. You'll have to wait until Monday.

Have you ever thought about making a new procedure that will force you to send an email update or post some sort of formal notifications when you make changes changes to important processes like these?

I think a lot of people have been put off the fact if someone abuses a shared hosting or VPS package through a re-seller, the re-seller and their additional clients could suffer.

This is an important change and I feel it would be much better if you posted it in some sort of global announcement fashion so everyone is aware, not just people who happen to stumble upon your post.

Since we will be needing to buy a few servers to start here, I would like to know what would happen in this scenario.

1) We have a large VPS server. Ends up that 1 VPS clients is running abusive software.

Will OVH contact us and give us 24 hours to resolve the problem? Or do they simply shutdown the server? If they do shut down the server, how long does it take to get it back online so we can investigate the issue?

Install fail2ban and get it to analyse any log files that involve logging in or authentication

I did notice some OVH machines hit the logs.
