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.
Oh, they understand full well. Considering that they talked you into signing a contract that included "extortion cross connect fees", and they in general get away with it - a case can be made that they understand the industry better than you do. :)
