My experiences with VPS6.net:
I ordered two services from this provider:
- OpenVZ - VZ-512 - DE
https://vps6.net/vps-openvz.php
- Windows VPS - WIN-1024 - Chicago
https://vps6.net/vps-windows.php
Product review VZ-512:
For a mere $8 the product is actually quite good. I've tried multiple templates (they have tons of them). I tried Ubuntu with VNC and it was pretty fast. Tried torrent downloads with Rutorrent and Deluge and got very good speeds on iptorrents and sceneaccess (Steady 20-40MBs).
UNRAR/RAR was not very fast though, but acceptable. Given this VZ-512 is not recommended to be used as a seedbox (confirmed by the provider). But is my personal conclusion. Perhaps you would be happy to use it as a seedbox.
I also set up a http website with the centOS 5 and Kloxo template. Easy sailing (I had previous experience with Kloxo), The speed of the test blog was fast (not a lot of content on it) and got good ratings on pingdom.
All of the templates I tried (about 5 or so) worked well expect for the ubuntu/deluge/rapidleech/VNC template where the VNC didn't work correctly and Tightvncserver was not installed by default.. This is course is not a fault of the provider.
I will continue to use this VPS for hosting my sites.

Product Review WIN-1024:
Setup was instantly (as was with the VZ-512) and could work with it without further actions. Really fast boot time and fast screen redraws.
Torrent downloads were about 13-18MBs. Not the fastest but not the slowest (probably location issue). Upload speeds to US based hosts (hotfile / mediafire) were only a tad faster than from EU locations.
UNRAR/RAR was reasonable fast and acceptable.
As I was planning to use it for us based hosts and torrents (see above), it doesn't fit my bill and used the 30 day money back guarantee which was given within 5 seconds.

Review of Support:
In one word, Chris and Robert provide excellent support and give you all the time you need. I've been online with Chris for a couple of days and he answers all your questions.
Although they claim 1 hour support answers, support (offline) was slower than that. But overall excellent support. And they honored their 30 days money back instantly.
Rating: 9/10.
All in all, excellent support and good performance of their products.
