	Speaking only for myself, if changing providers is an option, you 
may be interested to know that there's a useful list at 
<http://www.vix.com/personalcolo/> of providers that do co-location, 
and some also do shared, virtual, or dedicated servers.

	I don't know about most of them, but I do know Dave Rand at 
bungi.com, and they are a provider that I can recommend without 
hesitation or reservation.  Same with Paul Wouters at xtdnet.nl.


	I'm talking to a couple of friends about doing a startup, and one 
of the things I would want is hardware at multiple physical 
locations.  These are the top two co-location providers that we will 
be contacting.
