So John from SSDVirt was nice enough to honor the offer for me so I figure it was worth a try,
Initially I got my VPS provisioned with no OS loaded which is common of KVM.. so I put in a ticket for an os reload since everyone seems to be disabling access to solusvm .. The ticket was placed at 12:57AM and by 12:59AM the request was already completed!! no kidding just 2 minutes..
The plan I signed up for was KVM-1024
- 1024 MB RAM
- 10 GB SSD RAID10 Storage
- 2 CPU Cores 3.2+ GHz
- 1024 GB Premium Transfer
- 1 Gbps Port
- Self Managed

Just a warning as some of you may not be fond of colocrossing the IP does seem to be own by CC.. so if this affects your buying decision then this offer is probably not for you..
Well, I have not had the VPS for long so can't really comment more than that.. but have to say the VPS does feel fast and so was support, not much to complain really except maybe IPV6 would certainly sweeten this deal but still a great deal! at least for what I pay
