we've got an offer for 10GBit unmetered@750?, which is kind of sweet spot performance/buck wise and I guess, that it could handle 8-12 Tor nodes performance wise to satisfy the pipe. It would be a large number of high performance nodes run by just one operator, though, so I'm unsure if it really is that great idea :-(
I think 10gbit is too big for the current Tor network.
The total bandwidth of the network is something like 24gbit currently: https://metrics.torproject.org/network.html#bandwidth and it's more like 10gbit if you just count exits.
So it makes sense to get a bunch of 1gbit spots (to offset the couple of 1gbit spots we have already), but I think 10gbit would make things too uneven at this point.
