It not just about the provider. I would need to see the bandwidth charts on the current Jenkins but I assume Just about any provider can handle it bandwidth needs. But the server Jenkins Master needs to run on. EC2 isn't cutting it. My testing box is a basic Sata drive and it is running much faster but there is no user load on the box. We really need a box with raid 10 drives in it to handle the high IO needs.
