With my Fiber link, I'm getting:
- 140ms to Los Angeles, CA
- 165ms to Seattle, WA
- 177ms to Dallas, TX
- 207ms to New York, NJ
- 214ms to Beauharnois, QC (OVH)
Add an additional 25-35ms on those numbers and you'll the "somewhere about there" latency of someone on a regular ADSL(2+)/Cable line
Yeah, I'm down in Gigatown but 4 houses away from Fibre, which is apparently late 2016 or something according to the chorus map. ADSL2+ etc is still more popular than Fibre because people aren't switching, so yeah, 180 to LA, etc. Even then I don't agree with 140 as a suitable ping. When the OP asks for Australia and New Zealand I feel quite disappointed by the hosts that continue to say they have a good or 'premium' connection to New Zealand. The East Coast is certainly not an acceptable place to say that.
we can provide you with a fully-featured Tekkit server for only $4/GB (promo code: MCF2015). Tekkit Classic runs great with just 2GB RAM, and you probably won't need more. I'd suggest you try our Phoenix datacenter, as this location has premium connectivity to New Zealand. We are a well-established Minecraft hosting company, online since early May 2012. If you are interested, here is a list of features:

Interesting, well that is very wrong..
2GB's would be sufficient - when I get time I might edit that wiki page!
With 30 people on a large world, then maybe 3GB, but even I doubt that..
For comparison, I used to run a 50 slot OPPrison server on 1GB of RAM, all slots filled without issues, including the decently sized plotworld, etc.
I'm just going off 20-30 people, factions, around 50 plugins, a warning about the amount of TNT, I would go 2GB minimum. Still even then, 2GB is hard for Aus/NZ hosts to meet with that budget.
Hmmm... still haven't made up my mind. Mainly because compared to American hosts (Eg, this one https://www.hosthorde.com/plans/) NZ and AU servers don't seem to be good value.
How much lag/ping do you think there would be if I used a USA host. Do you think that it would be a better decision to buy USA with a little lag, rather than get lesser value in NZ/AU?
(BTW thanks for all your guys suggestions and help)
Ping from NZ or Australia is 200ms+, above 160 if you have good NZ internet. So in a way, if you go with an American server, its cheaper, but you don't have the best connection, but if you go with an Aus/NZ server, its more expensive, but you get the same service but at very low ping.
That is pretty good pricing, I've seen cheaper - obviously for a reason, they were using 2GHz CPU's :/
2.6GHz is not bad, but I do wonder how that stands up for heavy modpacks, I had to host my custom (150 mods) FTB server off a OC'ed 4770k to actually get it running stable.. Honestly you cant put mods and optimised in the same sentence these days
What does that CPU turbo boost up to? What models have you got in there?
Personally, I haven't seen cheaper, even last night I checked across basically every major host within Australia, and we still stand as the cheapest, mostly by $5 to $10. We haven't had any issues with Modpacks, we do move clients onto lesser stressed dedis if they decide to go with heavy modpacks just in case they spike usage. Personally I don't know the specifics of the hardware since we changed a lot of our collocation recently.
Yes, I'm sure a low latency from Australia which sits around 200 to the West Coast of the US. I don't think any player would consider 200 ping as a "good connection" or "very low".
Template needs to be updated to include what country they would prefer to be hosted in, making it a lot more easy for hosts from specific nations to offer deals instead of getting a flood of different countries and currencies.

Have you got an IP to ping?, anything past LA outside of the Southern Cross cable basically gets bad latency. NZ is about 180ms to the US.

I'm going off, http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Server/Requirements/Dedicated, count the fact that its modded with 20-30 slots, maybe 3.5 if your lucky.

Basically the lowest price across both New Zealand and Australia for Minecraft.

Asia and Europe are far apart when it comes to server hosting.
