Speed / Quota
I am not going to do much with the server: I want it as a PPTP server, and also to host my domains, mostly static HTML and email forwards and one LAMP site. My gut says I'll get by on a 360 plan but am happy to pay the extra if moving to a 512 plan will improve my speed.
Thanks!

My Linode 360 can pump out upwards of 10MB/s as long as the other side has a fast enough connection. Using the same Linode 360, I once downloaded somebody's file at 60MB/s. Yes, that's megabytes per second. Insane, I know
@albemuth:
It could be my location (Perth, Australia),
It's not too flash from the east coast either, even worse when you chuck in a SAT link. So it's probably your location.
Just something you learn to live with.
@albemuth:
I am finding the speed a bit slow.
80 millisecond pings from the living room couch here in Birmingham, Alabama USA to a Dallas Linode:

Would you please post results of a similar test? Maybe part of the problem is latency.
