I left at 2:50 pm today, server was in the back of my car and I was heading to Verio. I arrive at 4:15(would of been 3:30 but me+driving inchicago=lost, Map quest wasent much help). I was in their Chicago data center. All I gotta say is this place is SO great! The people there are all very nice. We brought my server up, there were 2 engineers hanging around and the David Waite, the project manager, basicly hes just there making sure everything is goin well and Im happy. Well I was happy. They let me use their keboard and monitor. I got an access card and my fingerprints scanned(Those things are complicated for the first time, I kept putting my fingers touching the wrong thing.). They are still getting some things up like thir vitual hands backup system, but it was all great. So you in the Chicago land area and want colocation. Go to VERIO!

Well, I have always been good on my own, and I have these boards too :). As long as they stay up, I will be fine.

Can I ask what you are paying and what you are getting? I've talked to a few tier one providers and the prices seem a lot higher than the smaller places, but haven't talked to verio yet. If you don't want to post what you're paying, I understand.

Thanks

I forgot to add that, it is a little pricy, 1000 for 1/3 rack and 768. I looked around, I took this one because its in chicago and I heard some good things of verio. I know there is cheaper, but I still stand by my choice :)
