Dotblock.com host minecraft too. I think they should help. But they don't advertise it on minecraft forums. I had them for a month. 300x300tnt explosion didn't even crash the server lol.
It's not even possible! Not without a custom server JAR. And you wouldn't need a 2Gbps uplink, I work on a server with 100Mbps uplink with 100+ players on at a time and it only utilizes about 2Mbps uplink so 2Gbps is a waste of money.
EDIT: Also this server runs very high spec hardware RAID 6 6x10k HDD (I don't how much space), 48GB RAM and some Xeon 3.xxGhz(I forgot what they said) and our cap is 150.
dont under estimate dotblock's VPS. Their VPS has surpass any host so far. Look at their server specs. You would be suprise!
I'm thinking of creating a huge community right now as my friend can get me any server i wish. That's why i came here asking. Ofcourse i would want bukkit , I doubt all the plugins would work without bukkit.

Honestly, I highly doubt your "friend" can get you ANY server you want regardless of price.
@fengpwns: A VPS would never be able to do it.
@OP: Price would probably be $500+ a month.
You can probably find some high end servers at http://databasebydesignllc.com or http://limestonenetworks.com. I know that http://webnx.com offers some good deals as well.
As for specs, you probably want a fast processor, like the new E3-1230/E3-1270 with at least 16GB of RAM. Perhaps even consider the Intel Xeon X5680's if you're looking into more cores and support for more RAM.
As other people said above, an SSD is crucial.
