Few will offer 40Gbps without charging a pretty penny, generally the jump will go from 10Gbps to 100Gbps but not until it becomes cost-effective (and not anytime soon).

That said, SoftLayer does provide 20Gbps access within a private rack and 20Gbps access to the public network.

Most large scale operations are (or soon will be) deploying 25GE and/or 50GE in place of 10Gbps Ethernet. 100GE to each node is unnecessary for most workloads & more importantly it's obscenely expensive and likely to remain so for at least 3 more years.
