Looking for Cheapest Colocation /w TB Based BW
For a personal non-profit project, I'm looking for the cheapest 2U 2A (one server) colocation in the USA.
The location does not matter.
I need at least 25TB BW @ 1Gbps port with cheap per TB overage fees.
The network can be single homed. I'm totally fine with HE.net and Cogent.
I need a /25 subnet with this with proper justification.
I've been searching and asking for quotes from datacenters. I've got a $149/month so far. I'm not sure if I can get even cheaper, that's why I've created this thread.
Looking for suggestions.
Datacenters can PM me with their offers as well.

Dacentec can do a cheap BW for you (Cogent), but i think the cost IPs aren't quite cheap for $1/IP.
They do $2 per ip
Yeah, need cheap ips
@CVPS_Chris
IPs are $0.20/IP/mo
+1 to Colostore, just signed a yearly agreement on a 1/4th rack and got 10% off per month. Contact Josh Barrett (joshb[@]colostore.com) and see what kind of deals he can get you. Or Joe (joe[@]colostore.com).
IPs are a bit expensive at Colostore, though.
@zfedora welcome to the nieghbor hood. Are you apart of southbendvps?
Check out DataShack/WholesaleInternet or of course ColoCrossing
SouthBendVPS/SouthBendServers just a small company right now, hoping to grow with the 1/4th rack.
And thanks, glad to be apart of the neighborhood! Great people at Colostore, Joe's a great guy, same with Josh. From the outside, Colostore doesn't really look like a Datacenter, but the inside is pretty nice actually.
I'll be out there in a couple of days getting our 1/4th rack setup. Been talking a lot with Jason Canady (owns the cage, was a senior developer at LSN I believe) about getting set up. He runs also UnlimitedNet. Very helpful guy as well!
I'm fairly interested in this topic myself, looking for maybe a quarter to half rack with at least 100TB on a gbit port, probably only need a /27 or /26 at most so I don't care too much about IP cost. I'd be fine with single homed or cheaper mixes. Thing is, I really would prefer something close to where I live so I can get there in under an hour. So central California(close to Lodi/Sacromento) and Central Florida(close to Daytona/Jacksonville) are my options. I know if went to LA for CA I could probably get some deals from QuadraNet. I'm in Florida at the moment so I'd prefer that for now, but can be in California if I really can't get the best deal here. Anyone got some opinions on the matter?
Also, I don't mean to hijack your topic @serverian, if you mind this, I'll make my own.
Edit: I should probably add something to this topic. Seconding Dacentec if you don't mind the IPs, I got some great offers from them while shopping around, but I just can't do their location.
Chat with Fiberhub.
You get silly cheap transit costs and IP's are well priced (< $1.00/IP range I think?)
Supports great during their business hours. If you're colocating, save yourself any possible nighttime tech fees by having IPMI's on everything.

Wow, that is really cheap.
I'm tempted to forgo wanting to colo near me for a few boxes with these prices.
Yep.
Network is great. While latency increased for some users (namely Asia), a lot of them have reported far more stable speeds.
Rob hasn't discovered a way to clone himself yet so he's usually bogged down some so try to give him a few to respond. Hitting him on WHT can usually get a quicker reply on questions too.
They sell these 1/4 rack deals a lot and they're pretty cool. Each one is a completely split cube with its own private drop from their RX's.

Very interesting, thank for you very much for the info @francisco. I'll surely have to contact them for some more info, maybe visit NV.
