Teledata in Manchester - experiences?

Does anyone have experience of Teledata in Manchester yet? It's a new facility and discussions about it seem very few.

Not used it - but visited it about 6 months or so ago and although they were still fitting it out it looked like they were doing a decent enough job of it.
It's in a crap area but it's inside a compound so security should be ok (assuming they put enough guards on). They were too vague on who has fibre in and out of the building which put us off.

I've had very good pricing off them for a cage of 32A racks but I've not been to visit the site yet (soon). I would also be interested to know anyone's opinion/experience of hosting with them.
They gave me a nice list of who has fibre on site, I'm going to repost it as I'm not under NDA, but if anyone has a problem with it feel free to let me know and I'll get rid of it

Basically what they told me is that they have fibre on site from Thus, BT, NWIX, Virgin Media and C2I as well as providing their own multi-home transit from Global Crossing, Cogent and Level3.

I'd clarify what fibre is actually on site and which providers are merely 'available' over the fibre connect used by Teledata.

Please note I'm not saying the listed providers have or haven't got fibre there, just that it might be a good idea to check..

Thus, BT, NWIX, Virgin Media and C2I were specifically stated as fibre on site. They didn't specify how they receive their transit from Global Crossing, Cogent and Level3

NWIX and C2I is over thus fibre, I don't know about BT or Virgin fibre, but BT and virgin fibre is available pretty much everywhere anyway.

Good to see that they have their own network up, and are no longer hosting their site from our DC

I've never been there so can't comment on the facility.

We've had an office on-site since early January, first tenants - so if you need any remote hands... We don't have any racks downstairs yet as we had spare space elsewhere, but will be moving some kit there soon as we're about at capacity. They seem to be doing a good job with the place.

I've not seen any security issues and I'm there every day. I've not had any problems around the facility either walking around - it feels safe enough, though I haven't tested that theory with a laptop over my shoulder yet. There's a perimiter fence/gate with access card entry and CCTV cover, then the building itself is pretty well secured from vehicle entry, strengthened glass, multiple layers of doors, card, biometric and visual ID for entry to datafloor, etc.
