 Hello. I'm shopping around for a VPS provider in the UK and I have some questions about your service.

 I'm moving away from my current provider (prgmr.com) because their IO performance has gotten noticably worse over time (too many machines sharing the same RAID array, was only getting 1.6MB/s from disk at bad times, with the cpu waiting for IO all the time). I had moved to them from my original provider (slicehost.com) for lower costs (your pricing looks good though). Another factor that matters is latency. The aforementioned providers are based in the U.S., but the UK is closer to us, which is why we've been looking at Linode.

 Can you give me an idea of the IO performance I might expect from you?

 Do you have an example hostname that I can ping to see what latency I might expect?

 Your 1024MB/60GB/1500GB/£29 plan interests me. Would it be possible to trade some of the bandwidth for more RAM? Something like 2048MB/60GB/750GB/£30 would be perfect.
