Re: [PLUG] Carrier neutral colo at 401 N. Broad?

[John Von Essen <john@essenz.com>]

ATX has alot of floor space at 401 for cage colo or cabinet colo or even 
individual machine colo.

The ATX backbone uses a variety of peers, Level3, WilTel, Qwest, etc.,. So 
there backbone is very diverse, BGP routed of course, very good quality. 
However, the people at ATX can pretty much give you anything you wont at 
your colo spot via cross connects thru the building. So technically, you 
can have your colo in ATX and just pay for space and power and the cross 
connect fee, and then have have your connectivity be a US LEC T1 or 
something.

Its very common for someone to get a 8' x 8' cage at ATX, and then get 
their own dedicated DS3 from Level3 and manage it entirely themselves. The 
cross connect fees are very reasonable.

If your interested, my brother works at ATX, and handles mainly colo 
sales, he can provide all the info you need, 610-755-4465
