I use and love vultr too, but their IP space is shit for VPN purposes. Constant captchas from google and eBay. Delta.com is blocked completely. Amazon refuses to play videos and says to disconnect your VPN.
I have a cheap VPS for non latency-sensitive stuff, and I just noticed that a ping to returns 15ms more than 1.1.1.1 (for instance). I'm wondering if you can get a cheap VPS with a good latency.
The latency depends on the geographical location (well, network location but geographical is a good proxy most of the time) of the VPS more than anything else. Buy closer if you want it lower.
