Aren't availability, guaranteed service and remote hands an incentive to do peering inside a third party colocation?
Sure. But there are places in the US where you have to decide whether the cost of lighting 300 miles of fiber to the colo is worth the benefits, when the other option is lighting fiber to a street cabinet across town.
Also remember that 300 miles of fiber is going to go through a dozen of street cabinets to get there.
be sure that you either: a) plan for a second path for when the backhoe arrives b) understand that you may slosh 'lots' of traffic 'elsewhere' when A happens if you don't want to ship/install/etc a device in a cage in 'equinix' but rather use a Xconnect/fiber provider solution you're moving your failure domains around a bit.
