Well looking at your speedtest, location would be newyork? or chicago?
200 slots Would be at least 6tb of bandwidth I think.
Is it just the one server you plan to colocate?
I know know some places in Seattle WA area. Sad

If you want Chicago I can ask around and find a good place.

for chicago, steadfastnetworks is good (great network), there are a lot of gsps that run out of their dc, in dallas colo4dallas is a good choice too. you do know that colo costs are generally more than renting a dedicated server right? look around at webhostingtalk.com they have a colo section where you can ask questions, do a search there and you'll see that it's a common question.

if you don't know already you will need to buy/build in a server chassis, they charge by U count (~1.75") and needs to be rackmountable, so don't send them a tower case. go to webhostingtalk.com and check the colo offers to check out general pricing.

don't forget to ask LOTS of questions, you don't want to be stuck in a 1 year contract with a crappy network or host. also you will find that the majority of colo will sell bandwidth via 95% billing. you will have to determine how often your server will be full and what bandwidth it will use as overages can be costly. those that sell a capped 10Mb or 100Mb port will usually not be on premium networks or if they are will cost $$$.
