I switched to DO a few months ago, ... and just recently switched back to Linode.

I'll pay the extra few bucks for reliability and decent uptime.

I had very frequent downtimes and the support was often unhelpful. I heard from others that it was just the datacenter that my VPS was on and other DC weren't as bad, but I guess it gave me enough of a bad impression that I went back to Linode anyway.

I'm using it non-production things, and have had a similar experience. I'm in the SFO data center, and I've lost connectivity to the machine at least 5 times in the past month.

I've had the same issues and it's preventing me from using it for anything serious. A lot of the other things with DO (provisioning, backup, snapshots) are great but the network seems to the biggest issue at the SF datacenter.
