  YES.

  I have wanted to try your Detroit location for a while but the bandwidth allocs were bordering on anorexic.

  Only if they have high numbered 24/7 armed guard in and around the DC

  In Troy, MI I wouldn't be scared to sleep on the grass in front of the DC. You don't even need a guard, but they do have cameras, all secure doors where you need someone to let you in with a card etc. Also to get into the server room you need a card to get into that door. So you should be safe... lol Do not worry about security at all.

  @rds100 and everyone else
  If anyone is interested in this plan I can almost offer it right now, so let me know if your interested in a server now. I've already worked out some amazing bandwidth deals in Detroit. No robberies included.

  I've been trawling around eBay for the past hour or so, and so I feel inclined to give my initial impressions as an eBay-style review: A+++++ 10/10 FAST DISK FAST BW GREAT EBAYER

  (No, but seriously it's very nice)

  So if someone steal a card, he/she have access to DC?

  @tux

  Only people with racks have cards and its a very small DC. Also the single server colos are separated with a locking door that you cant get to with a card.
