I discovered lately that some hosting providers consider extra appliance boxes like this to be another rackspace with a connection - regards if it's size or if it's a real server or not.
So instead of getting charged for a single server with a connection, some providers want to charge you for two servers with two connections (double the cost) - despite the fact they're sharing one connection. Watch out.
