Actually we jumped ship from above.net, for a number of reasons, but we are now at www.he.net. Super people working there, the Fremont datacenter is 43,000 sq ft. They are privately owned, profitable, (ie: they expand when needed and cash allows not blow billions only to file bankruptcy...cough MFN...) they have smaller plans down to I think a couple of U of rack space + 128k 95% percentile bandwidth usage for $200/month.. but for the best in security and if you have a few servers at least... a 7' locked/private cabinet is $400/month + the more bandwidth you need the cheaper it gets... I think its $200/month for 128k but $500/month for 1 megabit... need more than one 7' cabinet? if you get 2 or more the price drops to $300 each/month... So you could have say 2 x 7' private cabinets + 1mbps of 95% bandwidth for $1600/month. Was very impressed by the staff, the support, the data center, their network, and the pricing. All told we spend more than 5 years at Above.net but could not justify their pricing over what others are offering for actually in my mind better options as well...Just my opinion...

I've been colocating at AboveNet for about 10 years and I never had any problem. I started back in 1986 with 1 ft. of rack space for $400. Now I have one rack that I share with a few friends. I have extra space, if you need to colocate very cheap at one of the best, drop me an email or check http://colo7.com/
