It really depends on the metro area. Here in Chicago I can get a dark pair about 3 houses down the block from me (never quoted out how much it'd be to extend to my address) going back to 350 Cermak. This ran about $600-1200/mo or so depending on contract terms and who you know. If you have other gear in the facility (e.g. transit and routers with a spare port) you're looking at another $150-350/mo (again, depending on your contract) x-connect to get into your panel in your cage. Given I have equipment already in the datacenter, it's pretty tempting to pull the trigger on a 100G link. I just have no idea what I'd do with it. |

Completely agreed. Seattle and Portland seem to be high on the list of "places telcos think they can take complete advantage of." For what my employer pays for two (locked) racks of colocation here, we could get an entire small suite somewhere like LA or Chicago.
Wireline costs are similarly sky high, I think because CenturyLink has all of the cabling and no one has bothered to dig up the streets to run any more. When we connected a building in Eastlake to our old colo in Tukwila, CenturyLink was the only one who would quote us.
