The price change wasn't a typo. It happened at the same time as they implemented their 'free' DDoS protection. Everybody thinks that 480Gbps sounds like the best protection you can ever find. What people seems to forget, is that ALL their customers share the SAME protection.
I'm not saying it's bad, but I've seen new game hosts bragging about their "480Gbps protection", which to me is fooling the customers.
After we switched to OVH, we haven't had any real issues with DDoS. Our servers, however, has big problems sometimes. According to them, our servers freeze, their's problems with the AC and such. They do intervene pretty fast, though.
I ordered a new server recently (after they "opened up" for sales again) and received my server in a couple of minutes. I was pretty surprised.
