I'm currently using a dedicated server but i'm looking to buy a couple of refurbished servers (but may require more for storage etc) and go the collocation route, So im looking for a decent collocation provider in the USA.
I'd also like some advice on servers as well if possible.

DataShack, Wholesale Internet, Fiberhub, that's all I can think of at the moment.
I use EGIHosting, located in San Jose. (and have been for 6 months so far)
Power has had 100% uptime so far.
Support answers tickets within ~5-30 minutes, depending on what is going on.
Network is a bit problematic, unless you are okay with just HE. EGI's routes are set so that traffic is forced through HE. I pretty much never had routes to through other carriers. @Francsico experienced this too, which is why he moved to FiberHub. I recently upgraded to a second cross connect for redundancy, I'll be doing some testing later to see if it is just a small part of their network.
