We are using Softlayer and we found that on our server we were not bottlenecked by memory, CPU or disk I/O. However, we were bottlenecked by our bandwidth which sat around 5 MB/s. Perhaps we could upgrade to a higher-throughput network card or something (I don't maintain our servers), but we ended up just offloading static files to a CDN instead.

Hm, that seems strange. The default SL server configs don't have 1 gigabit cards, those cost 10-20/mo more - perhaps that's why?

That does seem odd. I'd file a ticket and see what they have to say about it.
In certain datacenters (think might be dallas05?) you can even get a 10Gbps uplink brought to a box so they have pretty big pipes available.

Where can I get dedicated or cloud servers with one or multiple 10GbE NICs?

I just poked around with some of our servers to verify.
In Softlayer's Dallas facility (selected when ordering a server) 10 Gbps is an option.
The maximum amount of bandwidth available is 20TB.
Sometimes you can get more options by contacting their sales people directly instead of using the shopping cart.
