Digital Ocean is doing lots of advertising but their servers are not holding the traffic.

I had my website hosted with them and I was literally unable to connect on it via SSH due to the low quality of their link.

I was disappointed with DreamHost, moved to Digital Ocean, now I am testing Linode.

Pretty sure it's something related to the quality of your link. I had no issues in the past SSHing from Australia no less into DigitalOcean US DCs.

Also whilst you are testing Linode have a look into their behaviour the last few times they were hacked. They deliberately withheld information from their customers. Pretty despicable company if you ask me.

What makes you so sure that the problem wasn't the quality of your link?
