[olug] Local Co-Location Providers

[Darren Alexander]

I've talked pretty extensively with IPRev.  They quoted me $2050 a 
month for a 2-5mb tier and 1U of rackspace.  If I sustain greater than
5mb for over 24 hours the put me in a higher tier and charge me
accordingly.  Their setup fee with a 1 year contract is $900.  Perhaps I
am naive about bandwidth expenses, but this seems quite pricey to me. 
Is this a reasonable sum to pay for that tier of service?
