I use them to run ArchiveTeam[1] projects (which consist of downloading data and then uploading it again, usually to the Internet Archive). For that purpose they work very well. When I initially set up my servers a few years ago I did have an issue where I was getting randomly corrupted packets on a few of my instances. I spent about a week going back and forth with their support about it and they eventually determined it was a hardware fault with the VM host and had me migrate them to a different physical server. I haven't had any problems with them since. [1] https://www.archiveteam.org/ https://www.archiveteam.org/

> When I initially set up my servers a few years ago I did have an issue where I was getting randomly corrupted packets on a few of my instances. I had the exact same issue, and found at least two reports of similar issues on public sources. This was very frustrating, as configuring the server over SSH was basically impossible since the sshd would drop the connection as soon as it detected a corrupt packet (invalid MAC), resulting in dropped SSH shell every couple of minutes. I contacted support multiple times. I even pointed them to resources showing that this was likely an issue with their hardware, and some other guy had had the issue resolved by moving the instance to a different rack. Their support's reply was basically telling me to try to re-start the server as many times that it would spawn on a working rack. Needless to say I had very little interest to continue working with them after this experience.
