lots of cheap server places in the states. best plan: buy a ticket to
somewhere with a decent concentration of them, check with the local lug
and see which ones are good, fly over and buy a box there (preferrably
buying in a state w/o sales tax (new jersey and new hampshire qualify in
the north east)), set it up and install it at the site, go to the beach,
come back and enjoy the bandwidth while your tan fades.
sure the first year works out as expensive as here, but you get a holiday
out of it. one other downside - the box is in the states, be careful
with crypto.
