Given that your relay is being hosted by OVH in a data-centre I think you will have more than sufficient bandwidth to get the Guard flag.
It will be weeks before you see an increase in the utilisation of the bandwidth.
If you haven't already, I recommend reading this article:
https://blog.torproject.org/lifecycle-new-relay
and also it is worth having a look at this page which is linked from the above:
https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/dir-spec.txt#n1662
It should answer most of the questions you will likely have about how flags are assigned to your relay, etc.

Hello,
I am wondering how fast (in MBPS) as tor relay needs to be used as a Guard? My new middle relay has about 2-3Mbps, is this enough? Thank you.

"To become a guard, a relay has to be stable and fast (at least 2MByte/s) otherwise it will remain a middle relay." https://community.torproject.org/relay/types-of-relays/#guard-and-middle-rel...
Note that 2 MByte/s equals 16 Mbit/s. Also, take in consideration that the minimum requirement for a relay is currently 10 Mbit/s. You might be better off running a bridge instead.
