Aside from the DDOS incidents Linode is generally very solid in connectivity department, but their communication skills when things go wrong leaves a lot of be desired - often their status page is 20+ minutes behind and has omissions. The way they handled communication on security issues was equally poor.

I'm hoping one or the other will be available at any given time, currently I have 2 droplets with Route53 doing the failover but its still all eggs in one basket. If only we could migrate a backup over to linode/secondary provider would be much easier.

Yeah. Nobody is perfect, but Linode's technical features and support makes up for it in my book.
