Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Colocation and Data Centers : Blended Bandwidth at Level3 Tampa Facility?

[Sekweta]

Level3 gateway facility, 7909 Woodland Center Blvd, Tampa, FL.

We want to multihome, but buying circuits to multiple carriers (each with 10 or 20 Mbit minimum commits) does not make financial sense, since our actual 95th percentile traffic is under 5 mbits.

If you have a "blended" mutihomed bandwidth product and are willing to sell at a 10 mbit (or lower) commit at the 7909 facility, please PM me. We'll also want to talk about a rack/cabinet as well.

They can not recommend themselves to you and you are asking providers to break the rules by creating this thread.

That's a crying shame. There's a "Dedicated and Colo Hosting Offers" forum for sellers to announce to buyers, but the closest thing to a buyers-looking-for-sellers forum ("Other Offers and Requests") is pretty much filled with cheesy spam and cheap come-ons.

Host Quote is the closest thing to what you are looking for. In the past there was a Dedicated/Co-lo Requests section, but it no longer exists.

Thanks. I fired off a request to QuoteColo a while ago and have gotten several responses already.

That's a shame, because it seems like a useful resource. Must not have been getting enough traffic, or enough of the right traffic, to justify its existence.

That sounds about right

Several years ago, we managed to pick up quite a few dedicated customers from that request forum. However, as WHT grew, the requests and associated offers grew more and more rediculous.

I hate to hi-jack his thread, but I did as well. I think it was eliminated first because the forum owners are able to charge for the leads generated through Host Quote and second because it was very difficult to monitor and enforce rules in the requests forums.
