I must clarify that my experience was related to their regular VPS offerings.
They do offer a premium VPS (notice how its product descriptions mention "1GBPS port" and "Less than 50% load of budget VPS nodes", in contrast to just "XXX GB/MONTH" for the regular).
I didn't try their dedicated servers. They may have fatter pipes. I just had very poor latency, consistent with all their locations, being Florida the most stable for me.
If you do any sort of data crunching, you can get a good value for your buck. Certainly cheaper than AWS.
For my taste, Linode's latency has been pleasantly consistent.
95% of the time, it equals 142ms from Atlanta to South America (so far, the best I've found). I just wish they had a smaller offering.
I'll go back to watching the presidential election, have a nice day!
