Ehm, this is Switerland, you know, where Swiss Telekom can ask any price 
they want for lines, so they charge you an arm and a leg for your 
leased lines, and so do most ISPs.

A 2MBit E1-Line is around 20'000 SFr. if you find a provider who will
offer that. (Switch, Eunet, UniSource most likely)

Notice that a lot of ISPs don't even have that speed on their net. Lots
of them use 512k Frame-Relay connections as their backbones, the fastest
Backbones are around 2 - 10 MB/s, anything above is simply not
payable.

Transatlantic capacity from Switerland is around 2 - 8 MB

I would opt for some cheap Server-Space, and unless you need good 
connectivity to Switzerland, go for a cheaper Country.

P.S. Last time I checked, a 64kbit link Zurich-Geneva
by the Swiss Telekom, was almost as expensive as a T1 San Francisco - 
New York
