I'm assuming colo means hosting, and the OP misspoke. Most colo providers don't provide active network for colo (as in power and rack only) customers. 2011/10/25 Paul Graydon <paul@paulgraydon.co.uk>

Is it common in the industry for a colocation provider, when requested to put an egress ACL facing us such as:

For colo? No, filtering is the customers concern, unless failure to do so is causing a problem for the colo network. Such services are almost always paid for add-ons to a colo package. The colocation business is usually fairly low on the profit margin with most companies trying to get away with the bare minimum possible over and above the basics.
