You mentioned that you only do business with hosts which OWN thier own datacenter. We do own our datacenter, it's just located within an Equinix IBX facility. We own and operate our own routers, switches, our own racks, all in our own cage. We are our own datacenter. We just pull our bandwith from the large, well connected carrier facility we are housed within.
