I would agree here cross connects. We pay 15x more in cross connects per month then we do in just the space/power. We actually pulled out of a colo once our contract came to terms with one of the large colo providers because of the extortion cross connect fees. It's an issue when a cross connect within the same room cost more then the loop going 100 miles away. I sometimes question if the colo providers even understand our industry. Sadly enough it was cheaper to move all that colo into an AT&T CO/Tandem then to stay put in the colo space. Just my 2 cents.

As others have said, the cab, and even power, is somewhat reasonable. But the cross connects kill the whole thing. -Chris On Thu, Jan 17, 2013 at 10:55 AM, PC <paul4004@gmail.com> wrote:
My experience has been that the monthly rack rental fee will be a comparative bargain to basic power and a couple in-building cross connects, which will often more than double the cost. When shopping for any provider, make sure you price out all the options you need in addition to the rack space itself.

What's the going rate now a days for a rack within EQUINIX?
Cheers Ryan
I would imagine this varies greatly by market and maybe even suite within the building
And also power/cooling requirements.
