15 points of peering and 28 points of presence != 90% peering
and that was last year - this month they just made major network changes...

400,000 clients cannot be wrong.

all that for a company that is only 12 years old.
You really have no idea how the whole network/pop game works do you? Just because someone has 28 Pops and they peer in 15 of them does not mean that those 15 IX points don't have a lot more capacity than the other 13 POPs.

Lets look at their peeringdb entry.


and


Now this is just public peering capacity at the given points not to mention "private" peering they have as well that is undisclosed. If you REALLY think they have MORE capacity to their paid transit lines than what they have in peering then you really need to read more about how networks actually operate. Ovh is also known for saturating circuits and not caring about it. Its pretty clear that 4pm EST on a saturday is not prime time.

Ovh is not the end-all/king of everything so please get off your high horse, they do a great job yes but they are not the total solution. IIRC they wont even sell a server to someone in the states and their policy was no one could resell their service either.
