Equinix does have a very aggressively priced 10Mb/s flat-rate OOB (single
IP only but that's not that hard to work around) for essentially XC
pricing. It's been stable but not something you'd rely on for 100%
packet delivery to some other point on the Internet (so more for
reaching a per-pop OOB than for making a coherent OOB network with
a bunch of monitoring running 24x7).
Still, it's a good value for what it is.
