Dedicube recently launched their VPS brand, BoltVM. Although rollout was rather sloppy, I have to say, so far I'm quite happy with the service.
I signed up the day they launched (invoice #2), however didn't pay until earlier today, which @Steven_F allowed me to do. At time of signup, fraud verification was done manually - I don't know if this is still like this, however I was verified pretty quickly.
After paying the invoice at around 7 this morning, I then opened a ticket, noticing that they didn't have auto-provision on payment. Ticket was set to Low priority, and was off-business hours, yet I got a reply in under 30 minutes. Not too bad, if you ask me.
They use Virtualizor for VPS control, and everything seems to work fine, less installing Control Panels. Template availability is rather limited, but I've been told this is going to change.
I did have an issue with my IP address not being in the Server Info email, but this was easily found in Virtualizor.
Server itself seems super snappy. Initial apt-get update && apt-get upgrade ran faster than the eye could catch. I have yet to do in-depth testing, but I do have numbers for you to look at.
OS is Debian 7 (Latest) 64-bit
9.4MB used with standard Debian utilities. Decent.

No failcount, and everything else looks good.
Due to formatting errors, cat /proc/user_beancounters output can be viewed here: http://ift.tt/XJGTxo
Dual-core, unthrottled. More goodness.

I also have these 3 benchmarks that I ran:
http://t.co/GB8wPGyfBP - 32 bit OS
http://ift.tt/V5LW9B - 32 bit OS
http://ift.tt/XJI0x1 - 64 bit OS
I think I included most relevant tests - if anyone has anything they'd like me to run, feel free.
As of writing this, BoltVM has 55 Bolt512s (at $15/yr) left, and 0 Bolt1024s (at $24/yr) left. However, this was officially 'pre-launch', and I'm pretty sure only half (or less) of their stock was released.
I have talked with Steven, and it seems he's got his gameplan on lockdown. Better hurry and grab your Bolt while it's available, the prices won't be this low forever!
