Good for you guys!

We were lucky enough to purchase one cheaply from a .bomb company. The basics, such as HVAC, raised flooring, power, etc were already there. We just had to clean up the mess they left behind (you'd be surprised at the expensive telecom equipment they left behind as "junk"!!!), complete it to our specs and add racks.
We own it...we run it...we control every aspect of it.
We are finalizing plans to expand, adding a pure colo only space. Up until now, we have specialized in fully-managed care, however, we have decided, based on requests from various potential customers, to start providing ping, pipe and rack. This colo center should be completed within 6 months or less.
We occasionally get blasted about our pricing, but believe me...owning and maintaining a fully operational data center with REAL 24/7 support (not an answering service...you ALWAYS talk to a Natnet tech person no matter when you call) and the redundancies that we offer is not cheap!
For the non-believers, I would be more than happy to provide a tour to anyone that would like to see
