Robust hosting

I have read the hosting suggestions already and have tried mediaTemple grid service where i was going to incur ~$200 a month in CPU overages. I have also tried goDaddy dedicated and hostGator VPS. Both of those could not handle the traffic. .

My site gets around 10,000 visits a day and uses around 1tb in bandwidth a month. The other two suggested offerings don’t handle this type of traffic. I am looking for an affordable solution that can handle this traffic and have come to the forums as my first three attempts were unsuccessful. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.I believe a grid service is the way for me to go,i just don’t have lots of experience with any of them!
