Little update I tried Vultr as provider, same result, 5.6.16.
Also tried upgrading to latest kernel before creating server, didnt help.
Can anyone actually confirm that forge comes with php7 on custom vps?

I just provision on a clean google compute engine and i'm 100% sure I didnt not check the PHP 5.6 checkbox, but i still end up with: PHP Version 5.6.16-2+deb.sury.org~trusty+1
Just as a test I also provision on Linode and end up with: PHP Version 7.0.0-4+deb.sury.org~trusty
Output when restarting nginx on Linode: php5-fpm: unrecognized service
Output when restarting nginx on Custom VPS: php5-fpm stop/waiting php5-fpm start/running, process 2893 php7.0-fpm: unrecognized service nginx stop/waiting nginx start/running, process 2912
Custom VPS now install PHP7, tnx for update silent bob :D
