fast web host?

Is there a webhost fast enough for providing large files (2.5GB +, going up to 10GB + larger) on my website to users worldwide?
At the moment my website is hosted in the UK and it seems to deliver download speeds of around 650kbps if only one person is downloading at a time. I have tried other web hosts, and their download speeds are even less (e.g. 150kbps)
I need something with unlimited speed. i.e. so that the download speed is limited only by the end user's connection.
Is there anything like this out there? I realise the files are very large in size, but I'd rather keep the process electronic than mail out hundreds of DVDs all the time.

I imagine any of the web hosting companies out there can meet your needs. The issue is picking the right "package" from them. IF you are using a shared server that costs $5 a month or something, you won't be able to handle that much traffic. Expect to be paying a premium for a dedicated server with a high speed connection.
