London Harbour Exchange
London Sovereign House
One has/had a problem with power in the past where the generator hasnt kicked in and the whole building power went out. Another problem withone of the data centres is bad cooling or lack off as some said in the past.
Neither of them was SOV no issues what-so-ever in the 2+ years we've been there.
Sovereign House without a doubt. There are always new ISP's becoming present in this building so the choice of providers is expanding, I believe LINX also recently became available in this building.
It's true that there are a huge number of ISPs in the building. SOV has been an official LINX expansion site since early 2002!

Unless you have a very high CDR, Level3 won't want to deal with you directly. It may have changed a bit recently, but I remember at one stage they weren't interested in you unless you represented over $5k/month in recurring fees.
You can either go with a Level3 aggregator to get ""direct"" Level3 bandwidth, or as someone mentioned above, it may make sense both cost wise and performance/reliability wise to approach a tier-2 ISP who has Level3 transit along with some other providers and peering sessions.Robin Balen

Redbus Sovereign House or
Redbus Meridian Gate
1U, 1IP, 100MBit/sec, 600Gb transfer, reboot switch,
£39+VAT month to month contract
server is being used as a games server, will be mainly uk traffic with some euro and usa/canada traffic
think the next quote up from another company was £42+VAT
price is a big factor as there is only 2 of us paying for it, and its a hobby so we can move the server if were not satisfied with it, thus wanting a month to month contract, location doesnt really matter so long as its in England UK and has low pinghttp://www.goodridgeelec.com

IIRC, have a look at WHT's offer forum - 49pence was offering unlimited gaming bandwidth for.. £45 for an ATX case (so you save the cost and headache of a 1U case... seeing as its just the 2 of you and your hobby).
They're in Soverign House.

I don't think anyone mentioned Telecity, but I could be wrong. SO many messages and all. I have a POP there and it serves me well.
Regards.

Hi stevey,
We use Netrino for one of our transit feeds, can't fault the quality and the reliability of their network so far. Quite decently priced too.Monil Patel

Currently collocating 42U (private rack), the only problem I have is the room feels pretty warm and they still haven’t fixed the lock on the rack door.

.... a lock on your rack is pretty serious lol - that takes about 50% away from your securityServGrid - www.servgrid.com - Affordable and Reliable SSD Cloud Solutions

Yep, TeleCity (MSP) has been very good, been there two years now.
