I did a short and non-representative comparison between the ping times to my Linode in London (http://vix.io http://vix.io) and hosteurope.de. From my home in the Netherlands my Linode VPS is 10ms faster (~31ms for Linode versus ~41ms for hosteurope.de). Considering that hosteurope.de is hosted in Köln (Germany) which is about 190km from where I live the routing to London is a lot better.
