There is a lot of guessing in this discussion. Maybe have a look at your logs 
for OVH networks and you will see something like "distributed spam delivery 
system" every day. I show an example of another OVH network, which is currently 
spamming German users:

This data is for one of my smaller systems:

As you can see they are using really a lot of different IPs and they are way 
more all over their locations: Poland, Germany, France, US.

Background: I've built a service to analyse such traffic for my mail systems. I 
want to understand which companies, networks, IPs, etc. are valuable to my 
users/customers and which try to harm them. Based on the data I can see, that 
OVH is not the worst, but a really bad provider for email systems.
I don't know how they get customers, but this customers are bad for their 
network reputation - specially for mail.

@Jaroslaw try to find another/better provider for your email service. You can't 
fix OVH sales or customer acquisition. 

I hope I could give another view on this discussion which heads in really 
different directions

As for real ID, is there any hosting provider that doesn't require that?
When I was buying my server at OVH, I needed to present them a photo or scan
of my ID, so they know who I am.
When you buy a hosting service, you are entering into a legal contract. Both
parties of the contract must know who the other party is.
