Their initial quote was significantly more expensive than other providers, but they were able to provide alternative quotes within different facilities, at a competitive London rate. Sadly they fell just outside of my initial maximum budget. However, those with larger budgets (or different carrier requirements), should certainly give these guys a call at least!
    Sorry we didn't meet your requirements this time around. Thanks for your kind words, if we can do anything else in future, you know where we are!

    Common sense is not so common.

    Standard voltage for electrical equipment in the UK is ~230V.

    (slightly off topic)

    Oh I almost forgot the mention, when purchasing the server we were faced with two options. Either purchase from Dell directly, purchase from an external provider.

    The majority of the external providers we found were terribly overpriced. However, we came across the guys over at ByFarTheCheapest, and decided to give them a ring. Although sceptical at first (because of the name lol), because the purchase cost was under £1000, we decided to take a bit of a gamble.

    Sure enough, they delivered on time, as quoted, with no hassle or problems.

    We ended up waiting only 2 days, rather than 10, and have warranty provided by a different company, rather than Dell themselves (which I'm quite happy about)

    Although they might not be to everyones taste (as they are a small team), I'd like to give them a +1 recommendation

    @koolkav1 - I believe it's just their network core located inside Telehouse, all other kit is located within Centro in Hemel Hempsted.

    We utilise their network in one of our PoP's in the UK and are more than happy with the performance!!

    Telehouse will actually let you colocate 1U. It's carrier neutral but you can also buy their own brand bandwidth and bundle it (KDDI bandwidth). The advantage is that you can buy from many carriers. Perhaps one of the only carrier neutral data centers that ive seen that would let you buy 1U and not overcharge.

    This was over six years ago so you would obviously need to confirm this is still an option. It most likely is, they're pretty consistent.
