Recommendation for on-prem hosting provider in US?
We run several EC2 reserved instances for 5 year lease, reaching the end and are considering switching to onprem to reduce cost.

It would help if you could clarify your requirements
We haven't tried those before, but largely looking for offering similar to EC2 reserved instance with the host swapped with a box we bought or leased.
The static public IP is the only hard requirement.
I personally only have experience with Cologix and I can vouch for them. Good installations, good network speeds, etc. My previous employers' entire infrastructure runs there pretty much. They're based in North America.
However you don't necessarily need to access the rack yourself. I believe most will install the server for a fee if you ship it directly to them.
It's also pretty expensive. 2U of rack space can cost something like $99 USD a month. It's worth it on the long run if you need extremely beefy servers though.
