Got a free server from WombatServers, but unfortunately only got a few hours to test it out, as I've been really busy.
50ms ping from Wellington, New Zealand (Awesome!)
180ms ping from my server in Dallas, TX (Still perfectly playable from the US!)
Despite it being only 256MB, it performed very well, and chunks loaded extremely quickly.
CPU / Disk seems really fast - The server loads almost instantly, and reloads almost instantly.
The only thing I didn't like was TCAdmin. To be honest, I would prefer Multicraft over TCAdmin, as It's more minecraft specific, and I don't really like TCAdmin's UI.
I'll post a longer review once I get the time to play with it.
Thanks for the concise review mate! Glad you're getting a great ping from Wellington.
I definitely hear you with regards to TCA; it definitely isn't made for MC.
We made the choice to go with TCA because:
It is fairly stable (in my experience)
Supports other games if we need to do custom orders etc
Is effective for management and support requests
Having said that, I do agree it isn't the most ideal panel but it does it's job - it lets you edit files, view live logs, restart, edit configs etc.
We're in the process of getting a custom control panel developed.
My review is rather short and sweet, to the point as I hate to baffle
Excellent Service, Great Customer service, Excellent server itself, it loads well, no latency issues and all of my mates seem to approve, It has a cheap rate compared to all the others out there and its made my minecraft experience a pleasurable one!

The Control Panel has been taking ages to load lately, and sometimes the webservers just stops responding. Any reasons for this?
