I have several clients hosted there and have done quite a bit of work with NTG. Let me advise you on the features of NTG and see if you want to try to compete.
Strong physical security (bulletproof glass speced to stop 7.62 MM bullets, man traps, biometric handprint scanners, 12' high concrete walls around the rear entrance that can stop an 18-wheeler).. 4 independent 10 mbps+ fiber paths into the facility 24-7 security and monitoring personnel ... They charge 35/U of rack space and 129 per month for 128Kbps of burstable bandwidth which is calculated on a 95th percentile method. On 10/28/05, Justin W.
