We are also located at the Equinix IBX facility: one of the largest, best connected datacenters in the US. From our cage we are an arms reach away from Sony Online, EA Sports Online, Goldman Sachs, and the FBI's main relay center just to name a few. You also have to consider that this pricing is lease-to-own, allowing the customer to have ownership of the hardware transferred to him/her at the end of the contract period and switch to less expensive colocation plan.
