While there is no vaild reason for a monthly reoccuring on a cross connect. Unless, there is a tech going out and dusting the cross-connect every month? Any carrier who charges monthly chrages on a wire hanging in D-Ring, while collecting money for the cross connected parties to even be in the same building, is not very nice. A one time fee ($250 to $1,000) if they are doing the labor is much sensible. One reason I like Telehouse so much.
Cross connects (fiber or copper) to carriers at PAIX are a much more reasonable $75/month rate.
