Then it was announced ready to move in, and we asked the procedure to get cross-connects from outside the facility in (really the whole point of even getting colo there).
Oh no, you can't have a cross-connect.
Umm, the only reason we're doing this is to cross-connect to the colo. The sales people knew this from the start, and was a key provision. But the site manager was adamant, nothing comes in or out.
I'm told second hand that when MCI/worldcom (now Verizon Business) controlled 8100 Boone Blvd (the early MAE-East) you had to buy a data circuit from them to get between floors. Not a cable or a cross-connect. A data circuit at the 0-mile tariffed price. I know first hand that when I bought a Verizon Business data circuit at a carrier-neutral colo and asked them to move the IP addresses from my Verizon Business colo to the data circuit, they refused. It took me longer but I canceled the colo anyway. And the circuit too. Jerks.
