I'm currently toying with the idea of moving one of our download server to the new OVH datacenter in North America. I'd like to know if you guys (in the US and Canada especially, but anywhere else is still interesting) could do a speed test from the urls inside and let me know your result. I'm interested in the download speed from both urls, and the country you are in.

Current hosting center : http://rbx.proof.ovh.net/
North American hosting center : http://bhs.proof.ovh.net/
Just press begin test (one test at a time of course) and report the download speed you get. If you also know you maximum download speed, it's also interesting :)

I'm from Belgium, I have a 120mbps connection download & 4mbps upload. This usually ends up in 11-12mb/s download from your servers here.

CA, USA. 25/25mbps fiber. 80+ ping is usually an US East rate. If not, it's high.
