Strange. This was at least 5 years ago so perhaps it changed.
I'm very happy with scaleway. They're a bit smaller and really easy to deal with IMO, you can ask them questions directly on slack and they don't look down on the small customer. I have 2 VPSes of the cheapest kind "Stardust" (1,80€ per month) and they're quick and friendly.
They used to have 8-core atom servers that were a bit unstable, mainly due to the nbd network based root filesystem. One network hiccup and it would go read only. They were really cheap though (12€ per month for dedicated metal is pretty amazing) but I did need support for that a couple of times.
But since I moved over to their VPS offering I've had no issues and I heard that they deprecated all the nbd based platforms due to these issues.
