I believe Phil suggested it would most likely say exactly the opposite. Let me read that again.

However, you may be surprised. Co-located equipment is completely under your insurance liability, as I'm sure the contract you signed states clearly. In fact, if you're buying any amount of space (e.g. multiple cabinets) most providers will require you to carry business liability insurance for both damage you may do to their stuff, and cases like this. For example, if a tornado hits the datacenter and wipes out everything in - you are going to be liable, the hosting company's insurance is not going to cover any of your equipment. In this case, the company is probably going to go under anyways, which is why it's important to ensure you're covered on your end.

Yep, pretty sure that is what he means. And I would accept Phil's comments as being pretty accurate.
