High storage + BW VPS for mirror

Hi folks,
I am currently searching a provider for a friend of mine.
He wants to launch a mirror of the Raspbian repository. Raspbian is a recompiled edition of Debian Sid to make it compatible with the armv6 architecture + armhf for the Raspberry Pi. It's a quite nice project because it increases the performance of the Raspberry Pi compared to the official armel based Debian image the Raspberry Pi Foundation creates.
We need the following specs:
Location: Somewhere in Europe
Bandwidth: About 1TB(*)
Connection: 100MBit/s
HDD: 120GB
CPU + RAM: Not important
(*)
It is quite difficult to estimate how much traffic we need. There are only a few mirrors of the Raspbian repository available, but the update frequency is not very high. I think we can start with 500GB and slighly increase the traffic limit to up to 1TB in case the mirror is used more frequently than expected.
Can anyone make a good offer? The only application running on the VPS will be a nginx webserver for serving the files via HTTP and a cronjob + rsync for pulling the repository down to the mirror.
Disclaimer: I am neither affiliated with the Raspberry Pi Foundation nor the official Raspbian dev team.

Our $7.00 offer should suit you fine, You can double/triple the plan, 2 x resources = $14 month which would fit your plan specs along with 2TB BW in the UK.
(Self Promotion isn't my thing but I thought I might aswell take a try).
120gb? Why you need that?
Raspbian repo needs 80gb at the moment, including images and future growth they recommend more. But 120 is absolutely the limit.
Wow. I thought it was like 2gb
We're talking about a full-fledged repository here. Not just an OS download
your brain is like 2GB
