Why don't you try doing a Search on this forum. Or....
Better yet, just scroll down the page. This topic has been discussed several times.

Don't want to say it, but at that pricing, they wont' last long in the business.

xo may be selling at that price on very high commits, but even if they are, this company has little to no margin on what they are selling. if the numbers dont work for a company that you *lease* servers from - no big deal; if they go out of business, you havent lost much (comparatively speaking). however, if your colo host goes out of business, there is a high chance your hardware will disappear into the void. if it seems too good to be true (like in this case), dont trust them with your hardware.

Thank you very much for your replies after the TTL Host incident i am very skeptical. I was lucky i didnt go ahead and colocate with them i was going to but i started hearing negative posts about them.
I think at that price it is safe to say i will probably not colocate with hostindustry im sorry but the way i see it is something is definetly wrong here and im not to willing to lose $2000 worth of hardware to test them out.
I am in no way stating that hostindustry is a rip off i have not had any buisness dealings with them.

I'm helping a client of mine migrate from Hurricane Electric to a southern California datacenter. We've looked at Cable & Wireless and Mzima both in downtown Los Angeles. Cable & Wireless doesn't deal with less than 10U and 1Mbps but are very willing to negotiate. Mzima has great pricing for low commits.
However you aren't going to see anything near $40/Mbps. I know for a fact AboveNet/MFN wont go below $50/Mbps unless your commit is above 100Mbps and if thats any indication, neither will CW.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Mzima's pricing is great, and rumor has it they will have level3 by the end of Q4-2003, which is only a month or two away

That is what I hear as well, can't wait to have L3. You'll be very hard pressed to find a provider as solid as mzima for their pricing. Sure, it's higher than most, and definately higher than $40/mbit but you really get what you pay for.
XO also has a pop in 818 and One Wilshire as far as I know, in case you wanted to get pricing from them. However, I would prefer to be in a carrier neutral facility instead of an XO owned and operated facility.
