VPS Provider Uptime

Hey folks, looking to see what other folks have for uptime on their VPSes.
Which providers are achieving good uptime for you? Who has the longest uptime?
Finding rather low uptime from many discount / LEB providers.
My longest uptime right now, 47 days - QuickPacket, Atlanta, Georgia.
Comments
180 days for Hostigation
34 days for RamNode
68 days for our Xen node
112 days for our KVM node
All of our OpenVZ nodes were at 109 days before a "yum update" fail.
IPXCore has been up since purchase, NECS was rebooted by me a few days after purchase. I don't have any actually impressive uptimes, but they're all solid performers.
My worst would probably be StyleXNetworks, I'm leaving them at the end of my current billing cycle since they randomly reset the node and sometimes don't turn my VPS back on when they do =/
ps:
47 days ago i re installed my vps
I don't know if counting ourselves count, but;
Yes
I regret that decision I made a while ago, however I'm not sure how to migrate it away.
Just build a new one on a VPS, import MySQL database, point nodes to new IP, done.
These were generated using the "uptime" command. So, the shortness of uptime may not be down to the provider but when I last rebooted them, or brought it online.

Lots of low uptime numbers amongst these.
Keep them coming folks. Good to see designation of the technology the VPS is (KVM, OpenVZ, Xen, etc.)
Not a VPS, but I'll post it anyways...
Well, we have a node with a high uptime
[support@node05~]# uptime
14:21:48 up 401 days, 21:08, 1 user, load average: 0.12, 0.13, 0.14
[support@node05~]#
Not bad!
AlienVPS: 241 days
BlueVM: 124 days
BuyVM: 153 days
Linode: 143 days
Prometeus: 169 days
Turnkey Internet: 143 days
VPSDeploy.com: 137 days
Uptime figures can be misleading though, since they don't reflect network outages where the server doesn't reboot.
My highest uptime at this point in time...
Eclipse:
07:14:47 up 182 days, 6:43, 1 user, load average: 1.71, 1.95, 2.05
On Singapore (opening for testing soon):
21:13:36 up 63 days, 20:32, 1 user, load average: 0.08, 0.02, 0.01
Great uptime there @lbft.
RamHost ...
Seems like short of something like RSplice, an uptime of longer than a year is going to say somebody probably hasn't been doing security updates... but less than a week consistently says problems abound. That being said my personal one at RootBSD has been up 88 days since the last time I had to restart it pending freebsd kernel/etc updates.

Only vps I have outside of our own company is with quickweb(LA) and is used as a second NS server and it has a uptime of less than 60 days at this point.
I think posting virtualization model would also be a good idea
My old linode had 690 days uptime until I needed to reboot it recently

FreeBSD on Xen
Yeah, makes sense, at work I used to have perma uptime between longer power failures on Xen, usually 100 days +, but at times power fails for more than an hour and the UPSes are not that big.
