People here suggest Hetzner. Just be aware that their routing is maybe not as good as you get for more expensive bandwidth.

Can you be more specific?

Hetzner has excellent connectivity: https://www.hetzner.com/unternehmen/rechenzentrum/ They are always working to increase their connectivity. I'd even go so far to claim that in many parts of the world they outperform certain hyperscalers.

I used to have a dedicated server there and what happened to me is that my uploads were fast, but my downloads were slow. Looking at an MTR route, it was clear that the route back to me was different (perhaps cheaper?). With google drive for example I could always max out my gbit connection. Same with rsync.net

Also I know that some cheaper Home ISPs also cheap out on peering.

Now, this was some time ago, so things might have changed, just as you suggested.
