..... Mine is the very last and it would seem the further down the line they were upgraded, the less time they had to do it with, and probably started to mass produce the upgrades with not the same positive response Seattle and Chicago VPS 9 had.

From what I have read, it seems ikk157 (Seattle) is running Ubuntu. And mine (Chicago) is also running Ubuntu. So it is possible that your port issue is specific to CentOS only.

But I know if you prefer CentOS, you may not be willing to switch to Ubuntu just for testing it out.
