Does anyone know a colocation company in New York City,
that offer cogent bandwidth ?

best bet might be to call up cogent, find the NYC rep and see what they can tell you. I've heard cogent reps often pass down smaller contacts to their current customers, though might hasn't ever done that for me :bawling: sure wish they would (one of my friends got over 5k/mo of contacts off them :angry: )

I know that EZZI (http://www.ezzi.net) (Long Island New York) was planning on completing a data center (they already had two) this year that was to feature Cogent. I don't know if the project is completed yet. But, it would be worth checking into.




[Edit]
Fixed that squirelly URL thingy

I think I musta been tired when I posted. :rolleyes:

Side thought:

Why would anyone want to colocate in that city? Real-estate there is pretty crazy especially in dowtown manhattan. Even in the so called suburbs the prices are huge.

Maybe if the facility was in the outskirts of the city (possibly Long Island) their might be some value to it.

Well, if I lived there and wanted to co-locate a server, it would be nice to walk/take the subway to my server. I think thats one of the attractions of co-location, access to your hardware.

http://www.calyx.net/
http://www.coserverlocation.com/

(but I am not sure if they offer cogent.. you will need to email sales department.. because some of them are carrier neutral..)

Go across the river to Newark, IBM has a top-rate facility there.
