I question whether there is *any* high volume hoster out there that has a reputation for successfully addressing abuse issues coming from their customer base, and cuts off services... By high volume hoster I define it as companies where anybody with a credit card can buy a $2 to $15/month VPS/VM in a fully automated process.
OVH just happens to be one of the largest and probably ranks in the top 10 worldwide by number of hypervisors and VPS. I doubt whether any of their 30-40 competitors that are smaller than them do much better, considering the ratio of clued and attentive staff to VMs.
OVH are worse than that. Floods of the same spam coming from the *same IP addresses* for years at a time. Continuous probes. A total refusal to police their network or even respond to reports of issues. They're not a major source of abuse because of their size, it's because they've chosen to be. Cheers, Steve
