One hope that the IPO will bring more pressure to evaluate the gain/loss ratio of handling the abuses to the community satisfaction.

( As for the the fire, I have to feel bad for all the staff working endless hours to get their customers back online ).

That's the first mention of abuse I've seen. I've got huge blocks of OVH space blocked.. Lots of bad things coming from there. Not sure the fire will change things down the road as the sources are from all over the roadmap.

Only reason this is probably getting any attention from them is in hopes they don’t irreparably damage their IPO; they seem to have no issues with their customers' compromised servers damaging the businesses of others on a continuous basis.

Based on previous outages, I wouldn't agree. http://status.ovh.net/?do=details&id=15162#comment18119
I will agree about the spam issues, but Octave Klaba has usually been pretty honest comparatively with what I'm used to from typical US based ILECs on outages.
