When one network fails or undergoes maintenance, we have fall over capacity to the other network. When one part of Puregig's network goes down we have 6 other connections to other parts of their network to take over. I suppose it depends on what you are purchasing, but I don't believe you can buy things much, if any, cheaper from Puregig than from us. When selling space in our cabinets in their colocation facilities, we'll sell in units smaller than they will sell direct. For the budget conscious we sell space in our own colocation facility for less than what Puregig will sell space to us, and we are one of their largest customers. The cheapest you are going to get into our colocation facility is $106 per month. For that you get access to remote rebooter ports, serial console ports, bandwidth, and 24/7 customer care. We think that is an equitable price for the service we provide. There is no way we could stay in business selling colocation space and bandwidth for $21.20 (the quoted 1/5 of our price someone mentioned earlier). It's hardly worth our time to bill and service a colocation customer for that much money. We don't understand how anyone else could stay in business either, unless their game plan is grow big and sell out, at which point economics don't figure into the equation. We'll, within reason, gladly match any local carriers pricing. Just send the quote to sales@deru.net, or fax to (480) 993-2294 and we'll see what we can do.
