The reason escaped turkey is so cheap is they use the Cogent network.
You won't find any reputable game server hosting company using Cogent.
Even worse escaped turkey doesn't have more than 1 data pipe supplying their datacenter.
Cogent is fine for things like web, VOIP where latency isn't critical but in gaming where latency is death, cogent is the single worse provider while being the cheapest.
Cogent has improved somewhat over the last year or so but they are still far from being a teir 1 provider.
Here is a short list of there problems
2003 went into chapter11 because they couldn't pay their bills to cisco
2005 Shut-off their peer connection to level3, causing all types of problems
This year alone their stock price dropped from $25+ to $5/share, they are in trouble even after overselling their bandwidth to raise money.

BTW escaped turkey just annouced they will be offering a premium service
$35/month is you want to use a real pier1 backbone versus the POS cogent
From their own page.
Why is Premium better?
Premium (Internap) is hooked up to multiple backbones, whereas the Standard bandwidth is hooked up to one backbone. If your local ISP is connected to a backbone that isn't the same as standard it will be forced to peer the connection. Peering can cause routes to fluctuate, ping times to go higher, and you will encounter more hops in a route. Premium (Internap) is connected to all the major backbones so you will more likely get a route with fewer hops, lower pings, and less or no fluctuation.

Even at $35 the only way escaped turkey will make money is either buy hosting lots of empty unused servers or overselling every machine to the point the cpu chokes.
