Bought an OVH server. Could this be SYS?

Hi guys,
Sorry for posting here. I bought a server today for 30 euros from a reseller. Server is located in Canada. Specs are 1245v2 32gb ram 2x2 ultra star 7200rpm. When doing iperf with - r i only get 250mbps up although speedtest-cli shows somewhere near 1gbps. Down is 1gbps tested it many times.
Did ovh had these servers in main range or in SYS? Thanks.
Ps i can run more tests if needed.

Based on specs and price it’s definitely sys instead of ovh range.
Just run some traceroute and you'll probably see.
@OP I don't want to be that guy, but why rent from an OVH reseller instead of going direct?
You also had concerns about OVH and their marketing of the speed of their internet, why did you still go forward with OVH?
Traceroute to where?
I bought from reliable reseller who apparently also got it from reseller. This to him was advertised as 1Gbps.. Now I need enough evidence to show that no way this is 1Gbps up.
I wonder how a reseller can offer this server for 30€, it costs much more if you order it on SYS directly.
to wherever you like.
Or just run whois [yourip].
Don't use the version of speedtest-cli that comes as an apt-get package to test the speed of your server, especially if you are running Ubuntu. Instead get and install it from the github. The binary included in apt-get repository is known to be bugged and not work correctly reporting limitation. If you do use the one from Github then at least you can confirm that is the actual limitations and not some bug or issue in the software.
my 2 cents.
Cheers!
Done it, what exactly am i looking for there?

Well, pretty obviously OVH Canada, yep.
I know right.. 🇨🇦🙄 Is there any tests I can run to determine what the upload speed is?
Thanks so far.
It looks like some old Soyoustart from around 2017, thus 250 Mbps bandwidth.

If this is ordered by the one (and only) provider that resells servers from all around the globe than it is a sys bhs server. They do write 1gps in their list (and for inbound thats true) but it is 250mps outbound.
I'm still sad that I somehow missed all the clearance deals in SEA,LAX,DAL,NYC,MIA and CHI.
So it a server provided by a reseller of a reseller of OVH? 🤔
I bought it from a friend who resells and sources servers from all over the world. This was sourced from a USA provider.
Conclusion is that this is SYS and 250mbps up. Should of thought that for 30 euros wont get me 1gbps both ways hehe😏
Thanks for your help guys.
