According to Lord Adakos it has dedicated hosting already. Bandwidth monitor? Hmm okay. What else could it be if it's not bandwidth?

I had my test server up on a Debian server, dual core 3.16GHz CPU, 3.5GB DDR3 (32-bit OS), and 25 down / 25 up fiber business connection. The box's primary use is as a web/mail server. I was static loading 121 zones and dynamic loading 10 fallback zones.
With a similar amount of load (3 players and 5 bots each) in a single zone, I had no lag issues on a fresh build as of one month ago. Your server is more powerful than mine in pretty much every area other than bandwidth. I can't see 3 players using your full 2Mbit connection, though, so if it's latency as opposed to the server having load issues, it's probably somewhere in the network configuration.
Are you loading the zones statically (I'd assume so with 8GB RAM available)? Are you having any errors popping up in the logs? Have you nailed down where the "lag" is coming from, whether latency or server/software hiccups?
In any case, I'd probably note that 10/2 isn't going to be sufficient for a server with any type of community. When you're serving data like that, your upstream bandwidth becomes very important. 2Mbps probably isn't going to be enough bandwidth, and a home 10/2 connection usually isn't optimized for large amounts of upstream data.
