I am not looking for a Tier 1 ISP list, so don't post one. I am looking for someone with professional network experience in a similar environment with a Tier 1 ISP.
Our core business involves moving large blocks of data (images) between multiple remote sites.
The remote sites are primarily in the midwest/great lakes region but we have an office in the southwest and several offices in the mid-atlantic region.
We have a fully meshed VPN.
Our requirements are (1) reliability, (2) low latency, (3) scalability, (4) intelligent monitoring of network.
If you have a recommendation, please post with details about how your ISP meets the four requirements above.
I will split points between answers which recommend a Tier 1 ISP and describe the requirement above.

(1) I don't think speakeasy is a tier 1 ISP
(2) You didn't answer any of the 4 requirements
"Mr. Madison, what you have just said, is the most insanely idiotic thing I have ever heard. At no point, in your rambling incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul."
-- Billy Madison
EV1 is the best that I have worked with: http://www.ev1servers.net
Rackspace is also very good. They use OpenNMS for network monitoring and sponsor it's development.
Scalability: both speak for themselves and are 2 of the biggest hosting providers on the market.
I have had the best support and experience with EV1 and I host online "backup" servers like you speak of. Take a look at them.
