Linode has 5 data centers. I've maintained a node in each of them the past six months with the following results:
Dallas: 99.959% Newark: 99.971% London: 99.986% Fremont: 99.992% Atlanta: 100%
I've heard from others here that Atlanta has been a very reliable LN data center for them as well.
Do you have any metrics for this? I have found issues with all the data-centers. NJ seems the most problematic from experience, followed closely by Dallas, which your data does confirm.

If you click on any of the Linode links, you can see when outages occurred, how long they were, and usually an explanation of the outage (if Linode provided one to me)
Yeah, they've really been annoying, but other than those, I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Linode.
Agreed. I was a very satisfied customer before this announcement, and I remain so afterwards.
Yeah, I'm glad they have the linode.typepad.com status blog - when Dallas is down, I can't connect to members.linode.com or status.linode.com to see what is going on! I know DOS attacks aren't their fault, but we've had a few more interruptions recently compared to usual.
