well, you can do that - but you're basically putting all of your eggs in one big basket then. say you colocated direct with verio, and verio had a problem with its pipes. well, you're down.
say you're colocated with a provider using verio, level3, tons of private peering, nationwide network, etc. say verio or level3 go down, you're still up.
there are definite advantages to going with a so-called "tier 2" provider.
