Have used DO, Linode and Vultr (and some others) for 5+ years but Vultr is the only one that keeps having network problems every now and then.
I run "monit" on all instances that checks for connectivity every minute but maybe every few months or so, I get alerts of network reachability for a slight moment from Vultr instance located in Silicon valley region. It's cool that they accept Bitcoin for payment though.
The page's test of course doesn't test reliability over the years and it seems it's not done 10 times on different instances, and the performance could've randomly fluctuated on the test, so I'd take the results with a grain of salt.
DO has been pretty stable for me. It just keeps running with no interferance.
Linode sometimes (like once a year) makes your instance unavailable for a tiny moment for maintenance but they provide you with clear explanation beforehand and I think it's good that they actively patch security problems that way.
Also good that they pool bandwidth from multiple instances, so even if your small instance takes lots of bandwidth, if you got some other instances, it can consume the limit from those too as a single pool.
Another for Linode is that they release OS images so fast as in they had CentOS 8 image the day I read the news it was released. I checked the others but only Linode had it then.
