Take a look at @Awmusic12635's latest deal in the Memorial Day offers thread:
https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/2244739/#Comment_2244739
You could get a nice resource pool of 12 cores, 12GB RAM, 135GB SSD Disk, 15 IPs and then be able to split it up and deploy as many VPS's as you want in NYC, Dallas, and Seattle. All for $18/mo. Seems like a tempting deal to me.
@MasonR the offer says Seattle? Am I missing something?
SpeedyKVM in NY are top notch for me. Great peering and speed to Qc / On.
@FredQC I'm in Ottawa so that could be interesting.
I did know you where there! ;-)
I can push 112Mb/s both ways between OVH and them if that helps.
You're right that the page just says Seattle, but someone asked in the thread if it was limited to Seattle and he answered "the resource pool can deploy to all 3 locations [Seattle, NYC, and Dallas] within the same package."
Plus as an added bonus this week, he's doing a double credit promo on top of that. So for every dollar you add to your account they'll match.
Hello,
We have a Public Cloud zone in Miami.
For 20$ you can deploy this :
VM SMALL:
-1 Vcpu
-2 GB
-50 GB
-100 Mbits unmetered

Decided to go with @Awmusic12635. While they do have an NYC location, it seems the IO on the node I provisioned a VM on is incredily slow. I provisioned one on their Dallas DC and it's super fast.
I've got a ticket open about NYC so we'll see what happens but even if it's a total write off, their Dallas location will work too. Only about 20ms difference.
Awesome! I just got the VDR12 package myself. Haven't really tested performance yet, so we'll see. Might be possible that a new VPS was being installed on the node when you did your test. I'd give it some time and try again to see if you get the same results.
I picked the VDR8 package yesterday, the star of the show is there Dallas node IO is super fast. I ran a few benchmarks at each location.

https://www.hudsonvalleyhost.com/ They provide good server with solid upstream
NYC seems to have IO issues. Dallas is blazing fast and I easily get 600MB/s on the Dallas node.
How are the iops? Do note that we optimize for random IO instead of sequential.
That said, we are looking into why the sequential is lower than average.
