Providers with good networks, other than LSN?
I've been a LSN customer for almost 3 years now. Although their service is good and I really like their network, in terms of reliability & latency. What I don't like is that their prices are a bit high, especially because I negotiated this price 3 years ago and the server specs seem out of date now.
What I'm looking for is:
8GB or more RAM
60GB or more SSD
3.2 GHz Quad Core Processor (Ideally Xeon)
1Gbps link
10TB bandwidth
Ideal location in Central US
Low latency Network with redundant links
Windows 2012 Essentials
8 IPs
Is it do-able for $100 or less?
FYI, I did look at datashack but I'm concerned about their response time & network reliability.

Do you need "unmetered" or is 10TB enough at 1Gbps.

The problem is that you require Windows, where the licensing fees are already between 25-35 USD. Then also the 1 Gbit port and IPs.
So you are looking for such server for 50-60 USD.
I am not saying it's impossible, but if you are looking for a reliable partner with a good network, the budget won't cover it.» www.InstantDedicated.com - Online in no time

You got quite a good deal there if you currently pay only 100 USD for it, why leave? To save a few bucks?
Those few bucks might cost you more bucks if the wrong choice is made.
If I were you I would just stay, 100 USD a month for a server is really not much
Also:
The 'Windows Essentials' license for CPU cores cost more than the Standard Edition, so I think you are reporting SAL licenses where you should report CPU licenses for dedicated servers.» www.InstantDedicated.com - Online in no time

Just to be clear, the configuration I posted is NOT what I have with LSN currently. My current config is pretty basic & old
2GB RAM
Core2Quad Q6600
250GB Hard Disk (SATA)
100Mbps link (5TB Limit)
Windows Server 2008 Web
I see plenty of providers that are offering the config that I want...for around $100 or less. I'm just not up-to-date on the hosts with good networks, so wanted to see what my options are.

Ok I fully understand your concern. Best way is to contact the providers and check the latency and do some speedtests, then evalulate your results.
Or have a chat with LSN sales and see if they can maybe give you a better deal after all, you're a long-term customer.» www.InstantDedicated.com - Online in no time

In terms of good networks go, PhoenixNAP/SecuredServers are top-notch. I've never experienced an outage with them. They're not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. They have multiple locations across the United States.

If you talk to LSN about upgrading to a new server, they can probably give you a good deal. They offer hard drive swaps, etc too.
