If you're looking for cheaper boxes with about the same connectivity to EU and US as the Netherlands... try France... ikoula.com as an example 30Mbit unmanaged with decent hardware around 100 -150 Euros + VAT... got some boxes there and they're doing their job just fine... I don't need anything fancy other than stable hardware, network and APC though.
If it's mission critical, go with Mike... otherwise see above.
