It seems like BGSA's problems are because they are the "cheap" provider, all the spammers have flocked over to their service. Below is the full email I received less than 20 minutes ago:
From past few months we are facing lots of issues from SPAMHAUS they have blacklisted all our IPs due to ongoing complaints from forum SPAM, from now onwards we are not allowing those SEO tools i.e XRUMER or Scrapebox etc, our network provider is suspending all the IPs which are active on forum spam and which are listed on http://www.stopforumspam.com/, please note that once your IPs are blocked we will assign you clean un-used IP for $10 extra charge and if again the new IP is blocked then the server will be suspended permanently.
NOTE: This email is only for those customers who are using our servers for Forum SPAM.
If you have any question please do not hesitate to open a support ticket.
Kind Regards,

I'm sorry to hear about your issues. Sounds like they themselves are resellers of service based on their servers being in Seattle and the offices in the Philippines. Looking at their site they say they have a data center in France, Netherlands and Germany too. Again these are probably resold services they purchased and are reselling.
In the future do good research on hosting companies. Ask a lot of questions. Ask where their data centers are. Ask if they have a staff actually at the DC. And as I think you've figured out, you get what you pay for. Cheap service is almost always that, cheap.
Best of luck getting out of this with them and moving on in your endevours.
