Dear Sirs,
We are writing to you regarding your colocation package with RapidSwitch. We have experienced a significant increase in our electricity costs over the past six months, as a result of world energy prices. These increases have been absorbed by us up until now, but we now have to pass them on to our clients.
Unfortunately, we are increasing the pricing on your package a small amount, by £1 per month per 0.1 amps, effective from 1st April 2008. This brings a standard £29 colocation package up to £34, and a 2U package goes up from £59 to £69. If you purchase extra power on top of the standard packages, there will be an increase in this too.
A summary of the price increase is as follows:
Server: IS-1xxx
Old price: £ 39.00
New price: £ 50.00
This price increase will be effective for service fees from 1st April 2008. Please take this email as 30 days notice of the price increased, as required by our terms and conditions. If you do not wish to continue with service at the new pricing levels, you can give us 30 days notice to cancel the service.
We will continue to keep a close eye on energy prices, and are comitted to providing excellent value for our clients. If you have any questions about this please reply to this ticket and we'll be happy to answer any queries.
The RapidSwitch Team
