Max, I see you are from Illinois. I am not sure if these servers are open to the public or not, but they are located in Chicago and I have rented from this company for my AvP2 clan when I was playing that game. The connections should be excellent (OC-192 lines). Below are some server IPs to check out.

64.0.99.37:12203
64.0.99.38:12203
64.0.99.39:12203
64.0.99.40:12203
64.0.99.41:12203
64.0.99.42:12203


These server are more for QUALITY of connection, I havent seen what kind of crowd hangs on them however. I will be this week, hopefully its worth checking out, because I too am looking for a decently local host that is cool to game with at the same time as providing an excellent connection.
