I guess the reason for the poor performance is the broken peering policy of UPC AS6830. Traffic ratio between OVH and UPC is likely around 10:1 and therefore UPC is not willing to upgrade unless OVH pays them a fortune.
Despite that UPC customers request the traffic from OVH servers (they are supposed to do so, as they pay their broadband connection), UPC still does not provide enough bandwidth, since they want to force a double-sided revenue stream. On the other side, I'm pretty sure that OVH would immediately upgrade interconnects with UPC based on zero settlement. That means: UPC is to blame, not OVH. The only adequate answer is: cancel your UPC subscription, if you have a choice. But be aware, that the Swiss incumbent is not any better in their policy; exchanching UPC with SC is like out of the frying pan into the fire... This story goes on an on for at least 10 years, you can only exchange actor names: UPC, SC, DTAG, FT, Telefonica, Comcast, Verizon... vs. OVH, Netflix, Hetzner, Cogent... and Init7, too. -- Fredy Kuenzler Init7 (Switzerland) Ltd.
