The problem with your own facility is of course connectivity and reliability. At Equinix you have access to a limitless number of carriers at a reduced cost, unparelled stability and redundancy, etc. If it's so lame to be at Equinix, why do multi-billion dollar companies choose to put their servers there? (i.e. Yahoo.com)
And btw, I don't believe ISPrime (who you seem to love based on your other threads) has its own facility -- does this mean they are a second rate host?
Our network has all the essential ingredients to be considered a top level host: Redundant core routers and switches (Junipiter M20's and Foundry BigIron's), numerous providers w/BPG4 routing, and full time knowledgeable staff on site at all times.
and p.s. racks at Equinix are NOT less than $1000/mo.

1. it is not lame to be in Equinix, it's lame to claim something is yours where in fact it is not - you are not equinix.
2. You are telling me 20 Racks at equinix is going to cost you more then 3 million dollar facility ? Do the math, you can get 20 racks for $12,000 per month with power, however you can not run a 3,000,000 facility for 12,000 per month. Racks at equinix cost $600 including power - I know because I have racks at equinix. And no I do not run a hosting company.
3. I do have servers at Isprime as well as Equinix and Rackspace. I have no complaints with any of them. BTW Equinix does offer Managed Servies as well

Equinix is class a operation, yes that is true. You however need to grow up and get your story straight.
There is no need to spam your service in order to gain customers, just as there is no need to tell stories to make your self look good. Also do your math before you put numbers in the thread
I think I am going to get some Zzzzs now
