This sounds fairly accurate, it's all in how the contract is written. Jeff On 4/28/08, up@3.am <up@3.am> wrote:
In 2006, I signed a 3 year contract with Broadwing for a 1 cabinet colocation with 6Mbs dedicated for under $1,000/mo. A few weeks ago, about halfway through this contract, I get a letter from Level 3's "Director of Colocation" that they are going to raise my price by several hundred dollars a month.
I spoke with my new Level 3 rep, and he just notified me that their legal deparment confirms that all they have to do is give me 30 days notice to increase their price.
This does not make sense to me. I am bound to a 3 year contract, where I have to pay them the rest of the term if I were to leave early, but they can jack up the price by 40-50% during that time, arbitrarily? I do not see that provision in my contract, and would rather avoid legal expenses if possible. Has anyone else had to deal with this sort of thing from Level 3?
