AWS, sadly, is a bit slow for what I'm doing, or so I'm told - lots of rapid database writes and needs extremely low latency. (I believe their I/O has some issues?)

It seems that I/O differs on which type you buy: http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/

Maybe you would have better luck finding a dedicated server/servers in Brazil.

There is also alog.com.br which is a equinix branch in brazil
