Have you thought about just getting a dedicated server instead of
colocating? I'm not a fan of VPS as many VPS hosts put caps on your
resource usage that can cause a few headaches.. And we've found as a
hosting company that colo often just turns out to be more expensive than
the alternatives... If you've got someone dealing with hardware FOR
you, there's really no reason not to mange everything remotely, so you
wouldn't even really need someone in SLC.

I'll look into a dedicated/managed server and see if I can find something at a
reasonable price. This server won't be just for websites, email, databases,
etc. I'd like to have more control over the server than you can with shared
hosting so I can use it for subversion, cvs, etc.

I'll second Tierfour.
They price their bandwidth based on 95th percentile billing. The numbers
they give you are for a constant stream of data at that speed. i.e.
256kbps seems slow, but thats a constant rate of data transfer per second.
You can burst to 10x your bandwidth amount. So if you purchased a 512k
connection, you can burst to 5mpbs.
I'll also second what Brandon mentioned about hosting. Unless there
is a specific reason for wanting to colocate, using a hosting provider such
as one that provides a dedicated server or a VPS can usually be very
competitive and a good choice.

Dave

I got a quote from them and the speeds they quoted me were 100Kbps,
256Kbps and 512Kbps. Sloooooooooooow. I've replied asking for
clarification. That's got to be a mistake. A server connected at
100Kbsp? Have to use a dial up connection so the server speed wouldn't
affect you.
