I challenge you to beat our prices like for like.

Not really unfair, you've no native transit providers on-site from memory, it's all back hauled - and when we last enquired it was a total of 300Mbit/s of capacity, shortly being upgraded to 1Gbit/s. No native providers on site (or even just the one), is what I personally define as poorly connected, it's certainly not well connected - If you take offence at that, then so be it, we obviously have differing standards
We also spoke to customers who told us that whilst it was resilient back haul, they were seeing latency of 500ms when you had an outage on one segment, so whilst it was up, it was presumably over-subscribed to be seeing latency like that?
All in all, we thought it was an okay facility but the sales staff weren't really up to speed on the facility specs/details when it comes to selling colo space (I can only assume most other customers weren't even asking any questions about the facility/connectivity) and we generally got the feeling that it didn't all add up somehow. Which is maybe something you need to look at in the future, as the info in variou splaces wasn't always consistent.
(I'm sure you'll now be looking through your CRM to see if you've dealt with us and when we looked around)
