Or Softlayer...
There are some in LEB range once every often.

In my cart from their website:
2x L5520
4x 1TB @ RAID10
24GB RAM
125 IPs
10TB BW @ 100mbit
$629/m
It's expensive, sure, but totally possible if you don't try to pack it full of $1/m clients. Add in some plans over LEB price to break even. Seems like that's all many people try to do these days is break even.
I love that price! lol
@jarland at LEB price point, you will have to sell atl east 100vm just to break even after gateway fees. And rebooting that node will be fun. Not to mention Iops will be awesome.
I submit that any newcomer who would pay upfront rental cost (like me) would be shooting themselves in the foot by planning to do well financially on any worthwhile system/network by selling only LEB priced plans. Don't take that as a statement of my own experiences, as providing only LEB priced VPS was just step 1 for us, step 2 was the $10 plan I can't keep in stock, step 3 is...well you'll see
@Jarland basing your business solely on selling LEB is one way ticket to disaster.
note: By you, I mean some random third party business. Not you as in Jarland or catalyst.
110 clients at 6.50
so openvz
plan is
1v core
96mb memory (oversold of course)
5gb space
100 gb bandwidth
1 ip
And that is still really ugly.
I know @Jack has a vps node with singlehop.
Funny this is the amount of overselling required to make it possible would basically nullify the benefits of using a SingleHop server. LOL
What exactly are these benefits anyway? I'm looking at their upstream list compared to my Dallas server via Incero @ CoreXchange.

Edit: Nevermind, found this: http://bgp.he.net/AS23352#_peers
Not entirely sure I'm looking at the right thing here.
Softlayer would be good for LEB's. That is if you pay the huge fees.
Singlehop is a great provider, excellent network and stability. I used to have a couple servers with them, for my own projects a couple years ago.
I'd rather strike a deal with them to collocate servers in their facility as opposed to renting their servers at stock (or even discounted) pricing.
@curtisg
That's why you go through 100TB.
