Turns out the colocation costs $672/year for the network, and another $780/year for power, so I don’t think Voxility is very feasible for an exit node without bargaining with them.
If anyone knows of a good way of finding high-bandwidth budget dedicated servers (a search term or a list of providers, for example), please share. I expected there to be more of a market for this kind of thing than I've found.
I recently rented a dedi from Online.net http://online.net/ (http://www.online.net/en/dedicated-server/dedibox-xc http://www.online.net/en/dedicated-server/dedibox-xc) which offers unmetered b/w, but I’ve heard bad things about the network. I’ll do some testing this weekend on whether or not I can get the full 150Mb/s link.

This may the largest logistical problem I've encountered when looking for dedicated servers intended to be exit nodes. For most providers, even expensive and powerful servers (16+ GB of RAM, 8+ cores) will come with 2-10 TB of monthly bandwidth. Because much cheaper servers can saturate a 100 Mbps link (IIRC) and thereby greatly exceed those limits, buying such packages just doesn't make sense. The additional bandwidth prices are usually strangely high, too. The pricing is often progressive - each additional terabyte costs more than the last.
