+1, not only are they one of the most reported IP Spaces, but their
abuse teams are slow to respond, and they don't assist customers with
reputation problems. AS well, they don't keep up their SWIP/rwhois very
well. And when a snowshoe spammer lights up, it is usually very high
volume that they get out.
Just sorry for the legitimate customers using them, as they have a lot
of bad neighbours. I think this is something that the Canadian CASL
teams should look at.
Also, speaking of whois, pet peeve that some of the whois databases
never seem to be updated/cleaned up.
whois 51.79.55.200
Still thinks RIPE is responsible..
whois 51.79.55.200 -h whois.arin.net
But it's actually now in ARIN hands..

From your experience, how long may it take to MS to allow

Don't use OVH. They have a terrible reputation and are widely blocked
at the AS level. One week last year, 15% of the spam we refused was
from OVH. Banning them wholesale is an easy decision for many
administrators. It will take OVH years to fix this reputation problem,
and while they do, you will have deliverability problems.
I know OVH's not a favorite among pros, but for me, their dedicated
servers work well and aren't very expensive. Can anybody recommend
a somewhat similar solution with a better IP segments reputation?
Their cheapness is partially the problem. Laxness is another part.
Perhaps you could have a machine or three at a respectable provider and
push all your outgoing mail through them, keeping the bulk at OVH?
