BGP Enabled transit in Chicago (River North) and equipment recommendation

I have a need for a BGP enabled connection in the River North section of Chicago. We have a small number of IP blocks 
that we want to use. Currently, we have some equipment at 350 E. Cermak (Steadfast Networks) and are looking at 
downsizing and bringing stuff 
in-house. Our bandwidth requirements are miniscule (10MB/Sec is fine). 

I know RCN offers business cable-modem service but probably not BGP. 

Also, we’d like to ditch our 3640 router in favor of a smaller “desktop” size router, but none of them seem to do BGP 
(not surprising).  Any recommendations on hardware would be welcome as well
