[ale] Good cheap ATL-based colo facilities?

[Greg Freemyer]

If I had to guess, 5x Marietta has a couple hundred or more different
vendors providing Internet services.

No easy way to generalize.  The big advantage is that I believe most
of the major Fiber going in and out of Atlanta goes thru 5x Marietta.
(Or at least it used to be that way.)

So some big players have some high-end capacity there.  OTOH, I've
seen some pretty run-down rooms there as well.  Most firms have their
equipment behind locked doors so no way to really get a feel for the
average vendor down there.

One exception from a cosmetic perspective is Joi.  There offices look
great, but I'll let someone discuss their network quality.  (ie.  If
you have nothing good to say, then don't say anything at all.)
