steadfast.net That $99 for 800GB + 1U looks PERFECT! They cross-connect to Level 3, AT&T, and Savvis as well. Also, being in Chicago is probably better than being on the East or West coasts. I think we may have a winner!
I've got a few questions for them about expansion before I sign up, so please IM me your company name if you'd like a referral.
Actually Chicago is not a prime location by any means if you are asking for equal connectivity to east vs west coast users. Dallas is equidistantish for both coasts. Chicago generally has to go to the east coast, south to atlanta, west to dallas and beyond. And these are the cheap circuits. There are premium routes that do go directly to other places, but trust me in general the backbone in the US typically looks like a big U with some spokes to hit places in the middle.
