Unfortunately network reliability is also an issue in the SF zone. Apparently they replaced some routers 2 weeks ago, but that hasn't solved the issues entirely. Over the past 2 weeks I've had easily over 30 minutes of downtime. During this downtime no pings / web requests can connect, nor can any SSH connections, so I'm fairly confident it's a loss of connectivity on their end.

Regardless, I'm still happy with the service and the pricing, and will continue to use them in the hopes of the network issues improving.

My one gripe with DigitalOcean is that their customer support leaves a great deal to be desired. For days I've been unable to replicate images across regions (any droplet I try to create gets in a permanent stuck state and can't be killed). I filed a service ticket days ago and was told I'd receive a response shortly but have still heard nothing. I've even sent replies pleading for some recognition that my issue is being worked on, but have received no response and no indication that they are working on my ticket. This does not bode well considering that creating a droplet from an existing image is a major feature of their product, and is not properly working.

While I have liked DO when it works and their prices are great, it comes at a cost. In my case that cost is their product not properly functioning and their team seemingly having no intention of fixing my issue.

Quora, you fucked up.

Hopefully this shuts up people always complaining about EBS...

Well, shit.

What makes you think this will ruin them?

Yeah I could never really tell how that even made it to the App Store. Some stupid wrapper around the web page, but the Chrome app is definitely more along the lines of what I'd expect from Google.

It looks better and feels snappier, so these tests are surprising...

I used to really like Coding Horror, but everything Atwood writes now days he sounds like a damn broken record. And his twitter feed is nothing short of immature and childish.

Disgraceful. How does the TSA constantly get away with shit like this?
