I've been using http://www.synergyworks.co.uk/ for a while now. I have a virtual server that costs me almost 30 pounds a month. it is one of the fastests connections to betfair I have ever seen. I fired off 5 scripts one day on Betfair just to see how many requests I could get per second and I got a high of 55 requests per script. That was 275 requests in total per second. I never did try the performance test on the API, it was pure scraping. I calculated that should I run those 5 scripts now, I would be paying over 15,000 pounds a day to Betfair in charges :-)
