Looking for a VPS

Hey there, I'm looking for a VPS, and here are my requirements:
KVM
20GB storage (HDD / SSD preferred)
512MB RAM (with vSwap would be good, otherwise I'll attach my own swap, I use 1GB of swap usually)
250GB to 500GB bandwidth (must have at least a half decent connection to Singapore)
1 Dedicated IPv4 and at least 10 IPv6 addresses
Have TAP/TUN enabled
Allow private torrents (~200+ running at any point of time, not much leechers anyway)
Anyway, I managed to jam all these in a $5/month DigitalOcean VPS, but am looking for a cheaper alternative.
Company must not be a Online.net, OVH or GVH reseller, must be around for at least 1 year.
Is this possible for $4/month or even $3?
Thanks!
Edit: Formatting.

NO
edit, legal torrents?
Not sure about Torrenting. Check BuyVM
Just don't discuss this publicly with yer provider.
Thanks! Taking a look http://buyvm.net/kvm-vps/, but seems to be more expensive than I thought. It's okay though, I could use them for other nodes I'm gonna host
Wait... DigitalOcean reps are on LET?!
Their nodes aren't low end though. Fast network, 120mbps throughput to my house.
cough @jarland cough
In fact there's one that's a super mod so he probably can see your IP history
Hi @Jarland
Not a rep Jacob, just happens to work there at times. Watching what naughty educational movies you all download.
I meant don't tell and ask your provider hey it's okay if I this and if I that publicly.
I dare to say that proudly, I've got nothing to hide
Edit: My sentence structure sucks. Meant that I don't download movies or music or shows with my server.
Well... do I remove it or what haha
well, everyone needs education.
That's why I'm studying
ok, bye
but with DO you don't get vSwap or TUN/TAP enabled..................
Wasn't TUN/TAP enabled? Nyr's OVPN script runs just fine on my server, no error messages mentioning TUN/TAP not being enabled.
vSwap yeah, but they have a guide that allows me to add some swap on my server...
On a more on-topic note @theroyalstudent, I meet all your listed 'requirements' minus KVM.
Is KVM a requirement or just a preference?
Requirement. Are you a registered company? Speedtest / LG link please, too!
troll strikes again
10/10 troll ._. So used to getting trolled, anyway.
EDIT: Can't load your website quickly enough. Kinda slow
Aw, that's a shame.. we are a registered company, company #09779287 more details.

loads just fine for me, are you trolling the troll?
you're referring to is a restriction that is only relevant to OpenVZ based servers. If you are trolling then u won
Sounds really interesting, but network isn't as great as expected.
Anyway, speedtest from my home network

Leaseweb sg might be good but their bf promo is over.
Yeah, that's not too good. It looks like everything (or most things atleast from LINX) go out via Telia.
I've tried this from a few popular providers based in the UK, whom have upstreams that peer at LINX and this seems to be the case.
Although, I would imagine Download/Upload outside of Singapore is awful most of the time from anywhere.
+1 my singapoore vm-s are terrible to france.
Neighbouring countries are okay, but no point. QuadraNet's network seems pretty fast for me though.
Offtopic:
Will provides let you torrent If you tell them that you are going to do it behind a proxy/vpn ?
If public torrents, probably no, since the IP address the server's (and the server company gets a strongly worded warning), if it is copyrighted content.
I'm thinking that most providers are okay with private torrents.
True true.
