|  XO = a major disappointment
Hi,
We have been happily providing services out of our Chicago location in XO's datacenter for close to a year now.. the pings and network have been at worst acceptable but usually fantastic.
Despite multiple billing and support issues, we felt that overall it was a great place to be, perhaps since we require VERY LITTLE handholding.
Now for the disastrous news...
They call me on the phone today. Apparantly they have a rather large client with 5 racks packed full of 1/2U gear that drains power like there is no tomorrow. Due to this, they informed me that despite the fact I have a contract to use a full rack of space, I cannot sent anymore servers due to the power issue.
Apparantly the building is not power upgradable, so I am stuck with a very successful and growing business in a dead end datacenter. They attempted to coax me into moving to their Secaucus, New Jersey Datacenter with this incentive:
-FREE SETUP
-1 Month Service Free
LOL....
In short, I can heartily recommend you stay far from these clowns.
So, as far as Chicago datacenters are concerned, I know of only 2 others:
FDCservers
ServerCentral
I am not even considering FDC, I gave ServerCentral a call. Any other ideas?
