I have never had any network issues.
I use Scaleway Amsterdam-based instances for more than two years. I used to run about a dozen of permanent servers: from small ARM-based, to bare-bone, to "X64 Pro Workload intensive" VPS (which are now apparently replaced with EPYC); and countless amount of short-lived instances. I did have the only single serious issue when production server was completely gone, including LSSD data, due to underlying "hypervisor critical failure". Unfortunately, I had no server snapshot that time, but that's another story and it's on me.

They do occasionally (quite rarely) have minor issues. Just recently I was unable to remove their "X64 Pro" instance neither within web interface nor scaleway-cli client. However, this issue was resolved within a couple of hours after reporting the ticket (with no paid support).
In general, I am very pleased with the Scaleway, considering the quality/price ratio. If only they'd have servers in Scandinavia/Northern Europe region, I wouldn't look for other offers such as Hetzner/Helsinki.
