    In before the common (and sane) suspicion:

    - 100% SLA: it's a cash-back agreement, not a technical promise. Also it doesn't cover the maintenance period (FYI I never had any maintenance downtime for 5 years but YMMV).

    - free bandwidth: it's a real thing in France, the bandwidth is free.

    I am a happy customer of OVH since 5 years, either personally or professionally.

    Just a couple of notes from my quick look (I had to find the English page first):

    It appears that the starting price for the cloud service is $14.99 / month. The $2.99 / month price is for the Classic VPS.

    Both services offer 100 Mbps for the first 10 Tb of bandwidth, then 1 Mbps. Getting 10 Tb of bandwidth for $2.99 a month is an amazing deal.
