If your target audience is in the US OVH is not the place to host.

Huh?
Here is a me simulating a person in San Diego trying to grab a file from Paris:
Traceroute from my server to person in SD (ie the path the file will take)
Code:
traceroute 204.152.194.186
traceroute to 204.152.194.186 (204.152.194.186), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets

Notice, it left the Paris DC on hop2 (went east!) then reached California on hop 9. 7 hops from DC to DC.
Now download from server in Paris to Server in SD:

Both servers have 100Mbs ports, and the SD server is downloading at *exactly* 100Mbs.
Where's the problem? I'd say that is damn great connectivity.
