## Objective
8+
9+
Each of our dedicated servers includes a minimum public bandwidth of 500Mbps. If you have specific download or mass distribution requirements, such as software updates, you can upgrade the bandwidth. And if you need less bandwidth, you can also downgrade to a lower bandwidth.
10+
11+
**In this guide, we explain how you can easily upgrade or downgrade the bandwidth of a dedicated server.**
12+
13+
> [!warning]
14+
> Please note that this option is available on most dedicated servers, but not all. Although our servers come with a minimum public bandwidth of 500Mbps, the public bandwidth upgrade option is not available on all dedicated server ranges.
15+
>
16+
17+
## Requirements
18+
19+
- A [dedicated server](/links/bare-metal/bare-metal) in your OVHcloud account
20+
- Access to the [OVHcloud API](/pages/manage_and_operate/api/first-steps)
21+
22+
## Instructions
23+
24+
### Find available services
25+
26+
Use the following API call to list all the available services for upgrade (or downgrade) and verify that the service you wish to upgrade/downgrade is listed:
27+
28+
> [!api]
29+
>
30+
> @api {v1} /order GET /order/upgrade/baremetalPublicBandwidth
31+
>
32+
33+
![bandwidth](images/bandwidth_01.png){.thumbnail}
34+
35+
### Find the plan code
36+
37+
List available offers and find the **planCode** of your choice with the API call below:
38+
39+
> [!api]
40+
>
41+
> @api {v1} /order GET /order/upgrade/baremetalPublicBandwidth/{serviceName}
42+
>
43+
44+
Enter the variables:
45+
46+
- serviceName: the name of your dedicated server, for example `ns1234567.ip-203.0.113.eu`
47+
48+
![bandwidth](images/bandwidth_02.png){.thumbnail}
49+
50+
The `RESPONSE` field should display information similar to the following:
51+
52+
![bandwidth](images/bandwidth_02_1.png){.thumbnail}
53+
54+
### Review your order
55+
56+
Use the following API call for a preview of your order, including pricing:
57+
58+
> [!api]
59+
>
60+
> @api {v1} /order GET /order/upgrade/baremetalPublicBandwidth/{serviceName}/{planCode}
61+
>
62+
63+
Enter the variables:
64+
65+
- planCode: the reference retrieved in the previous step
66+
- serviceName: the name of your dedicated server
67+
- quantity: 1
68+
69+
![bandwidth](images/bandwidth_03.png){.thumbnail}
70+
71+
The `RESPONSE` field should display information similar to the following:
72+
73+
![bandwidth](images/bandwidth_03_1.png){.thumbnail}
74+
75+
### Submit your order
76+
77+
To officially submit the order, use the following API call:
78+
79+
> [!api]
80+
>
81+
> @api {v1} /order POST /order/upgrade/baremetalPublicBandwidth/{serviceName}/{planCode}
82+
>
83+
84+
![bandwidth](images/bandwidth_04.png){.thumbnail}
85+
86+
The order will be processed once you have clicked `Execute`{.action}. The amount displayed corresponds to your option’s first billing month, calculated on a pro rata basis for the current month.
