Of course. Leaving Equinix is even worse as you have a $350/month cross connect and then an $800/month riser fee.
That's why I specified Equinix at 350 E. Cermak. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Kuhnke" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, June 19, 2016 12:47:03 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Seen this Brocade before? You know that Equinix doesn't own or run 350 E. Cermak, right? They're just one tenant. It's owned by Digital Realty Trust.

With AMS-IX, Megaport and United-IX here now, we'll likely see some of that shift around a bit, but it'll take time. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP From: "Eric Kuhnke" < [email protected] > To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, June 17, 2016 11:02:51 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Seen this Brocade before? Smart people don't start leases in Equinix facilities unless they have absolutely, positively no other option.

Once upon a time, that was probably said about 10G links. Before then, about 1G links. Those 1G ports are expensive you know.
