Does anyone with experience with colo facilities in the Seattle area have recommendations? Price is a factor. If you have experience with companies in another location that also have Seattle facilities, that's useful too.

Sorry, question will be closed as too localized. A phonebook or yellowpages.com is probably a better place to start. – Chris S♦ Nov 18 '10 at 1:51
Seattle is too local? It's one of the bigger internet hubs in the US... – Conrad Meyer Nov 18 '10 at 1:54

the world is a big place, and a huge number of people coming to this site are not from the US at all. Thus, any questions that are only applicable to certain geographic regions smaller than a hemisphere or in some cases a country are not permitted. The definition of "too localised" is This question would only be relevant to a small geographic area [...] that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. Don't worry, we're not picking on you - there are probably over a hundred instances of people asking for "x" in "y" and they're all closed. – Mark Henderson♦ Nov 18 '10 at 2:10

This question is unlikely to ever help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

I've had good luck with similar questions previously by asking my network on linkedin. I got some excellent responses, specifically about terrestrial wireless business Internet providers in Atlanta Georgia for a conference I run the networking for. I'm located in Colorado, and find that terrestrial wireless providers, particularly at the 100mbps+ level, can be very hard to find if you aren't plugged in to the local area.

Within a day or two of asking the question on linkedin, I got 3 or 4 excellent answers, one of which we used for our conference and it was rock solid and an extremely good price.

I have on occasion just gone to a Carrier Hotel to visit. Take a peek @ the board and find all the companies that are listed. The Westin Building in Seattle is such a place.

This will give you the ability to see who is there - and get the lay of the land. Simply call each company and see if they will see you @ the drop of a hat.

If they cannot - than chances are they will not be able to help you in a drop of a hat either when the time comes.

Take it from someone in the Colo business for over 15 years now.
