Congrats to the DigitalOcean team. I moved my personal server from Linode London to DigitalOcean Amsterdam-1 and haven't had any issues at all and latency is only 2-3ms more from London compared to my old Linode box which is completely acceptable for me. Support is also extremely responsive.
Interesting so I tried digital ocean and was at first pleased but with constant network outages and no private network support it was not ready for a production env as far as I could tell - for toy projects definitely nice and if they get the private network up and resolve their stability issues I'd definitely give it another go
As we were scaling up our network we ran into a few issues and had to work with our vendors to resolve them.
Quoted metrics for support for ARP and MAC addresses on devices didn't match what we were seeing in production but we were able to get that resolved, so you shouldn't see those issues recurring.
