Hi,
I can only comment from a UK perspective but...
Personally I would check the Colo facility contracts very carefully =
before agreeing.
LINX have just reviewed contracts within some of the major facilities in =
London TelecityRedbus (Now Merged in to one company) and Telehouse =
Europe
The Review made very interesting reading, the contract terms of these to =
companies are very different, particularily with attention to price =
rises and notice periods required.
We have fecilities within Telehouse (Docklands) and I can certainly =
commend them for good service, we had facilities with Redbus before the =
merger but as a result of the merge Redbus's prices went vertical. We =
no longer have facilities with TCRB as a result. It would also appear a =
few other companies have recently taken this view as well. =20
One thing which I have found to be useful within Telehouse is free =
(within reason) use of there remote hands for simple problems i.e. =
reboots etc.=20
Currently there also seems to be good words being said for InterXion, I =
believe LINX are evaluating InterXion as a LINX node within London.
Also within London a very useful company has come to light =
www.datahop.it they are providing very cheap interconnects between =
various different facilities and in particular I know they are able to =
get LINX and LONAP connections to facilities which don't currently house =
either of those XP's
