$5.35/month PIAF Purple -- So Far, so good.
Well, you can read what you want, but that's not my experience.
I ordered a VPS, then asked them if they would support the PIAF OpenVZ template.
Here's the response I got from support, almost immediately:
Gerry,
I know about PIAF, i used the actual ISO to deploy hundreds of VoIP Servers to several thousand clients at my last job.
Its not my first time in the boxing ring with PIAF, so hopefully the template does well which so far it has. I will go ahead and release it out here and you should see it shortly as one that you can reinstall to.
Thanks!

As promised, within a few hours he had tested the template, and now PIAF Purple is available as an option on the OS installs.
I've been running it for 3 days now, doing a LOT of testing.
One of my providers is VOIP.ms, and they must be in the next rack, as I'm getting 2-4mS ping times to their Chicago POP. No jitter issues. Call quality has been great, even back to my endpoints in NH.
ChicagoVPS is hosted in a facility owned by Dupont Fabros Technology, one of THE best facilities in thw world.
I think the deal is still available:
2GB RAM/50GB Disk/2TB Transfer $7.00:

1GB/30GB/1.5TB for $5.35/month:

Speaking of VPS, I also operate PIAF on RentPBX.com. ChicagoVPS has a single-POP, and not VOIP-centric like RentPBX is. So, I'd guess I'd choose based on your level of support comfort and POP availability. RentPBX has been awesome and is a good supporter of the PIAF project.
For those who are comfortable, this is an awesome PIAF deal.
YMMV
